I found these when I was digging out my new berm at 190. I found it very interesting, I thought you guys would also. I had not shot any pellets at this point, so these are all slugs. Some are 17, some are 22.

I Weighed a few of them, In general they maintained their original weight, even the really smashed ones.

Just FYI, this was not an environmental post. It was about what happened to the slugs when they hit the object at long distance.

here’s a very good article on how lead affects the environment from shooting.

Most of the other studies I’ve seen make a bunch of assumptions.

The malleability of the plumb avoids loss of weight at impact. Irrespective of deformation.

Interesting....
