Does anyone know exactly how many Condors were found dead?
I ask because when they pushed for the lead shot ban in waterfowl hunting, it was based on two dead loons. I forget where I read that, but I do remember it said two. The late Elmer Keith proposed that we stay with lead shot and use heavier shot. He felt that the heavier shot would sink deeper into the lake bottoms and not be eaten by the birds. Of course, he also felt that the .270 was way too light for deer.
Interesting thing though. If lead gets banned for all bullets, it's put several bullet makers out of business. Nosler has a monometal bullet aas does barnes and maybe a few smaller companies, but do Hornady, Speer and Sierra have anything ready to go. Are they even trying.
