Comments on: California’s Lead Ammo Ban Working as Intended, With Copper .22LR Ammo Expensive and Hard to Get https://staging.shootingnewsweekly.com/ammunition/californias-lead-ammo-ban-working-as-intended-with-copper-22lr-ammo-expensive-and-hard-to-get/ Sat, 14 Feb 2026 04:22:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: james hall https://staging.shootingnewsweekly.com/ammunition/californias-lead-ammo-ban-working-as-intended-with-copper-22lr-ammo-expensive-and-hard-to-get/comment-page-1/#comment-154629 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 04:22:32 +0000 https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/?p=27947#comment-154629 it doesn’t make good sense. We need to comply, but then in California, they won’t sell the correct ammunition for the 10/22 ruger to cut down varmits. ie., squirrels. The .223 is a bit overpowering for such a small animal. Not only that, we have to pay double the price for the non-lead. Example the .308 ammunition for hunting in california. Not happy.

Well, I need only 6 cartridges for a limit of squirrel. I don’t even need more than one apiece for rabbits. If your hunters mostly miss, shooting up like that, do they know where those errant and unhindered bullets are going?

CHP monitors the Cabela’s parking lot in Verdi (just across the border on the way to Reno) for CA plates and “contacts” those vehicles upon return so employ some strategy if that’s where you go.
