Hey Guys,
Ran into a new obstacle, Non-Toxic Projectiles.
We've been drawn for a Special Muzzle Loading Hunt here in Minnesota.
It's in a State Park, we are required to take antler-less only. This will be our 4th hunt there.
Just reading through the Minnesota Law Book and ran into a "New Requirement", Non-Toxic Ammunition Requirements in Minnesota State Parks.
I've been shooting cast bullets with a sabot, so it's not really that big of a change for me except shelling out over $1 per bullet.
I contacted Barnes Bullets, asked what the diameter of the Spit-Fire T-EZ projectile was.
They replied .451" and verified that it was Non-Toxic. So I can remove the sabot which it comes with and place my sabot on to shoot my .54 caliber.
Always changing things, I'm just lucky I read through the book, with about 1 month before the hunt.
I suppose they will make it necessary state wide pretty soon, it's already a requirement on Waterfowl Production Areas.
