Hello All;
        Someone wrote "Not sure about the British, but the US
    Army has been trying for years to switch to any bullet not
    made of lead, do to rising enviromental concerns."

        Vincent Lefavrais wrote "That's the best one I've heard
    these past ten years. So bullets keep killing people, but now
    they do it without harming the environment? Welcome to the
    USA, the country of the politically correct."

Actually, breathing powdered lead is a concern among those in
the military and police communities who do a large amount of
training with live ammunition.  There's been constant research by
ammunition manufacturers into bullets with a lower lead content for
use in training exercises.
