38-55 fills a doe tag

Sierra and Hornady make a few non-toxic bullets these days--none to serve 38/55, though--or 25/20 and 32/20. I will refrain from bitter commentary about the motives of my home state for this stupidity, but mostly it's about dissuading anglers and hunters from pursuing fish & game. This ignores enthusiastically that it's sport fishing and sport hunting license fees that fund the Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, but whatever.

Same in WA, population is 225% greater than when I moved here in 1973. Hunting and fishing license sales are down 75%. Fish and Game wonder why they have no budget.

I have an old Waffle Top Marlin someone built into a .38-55. I like it a lot. Cast and shot up a pot of Lee bullets, but lucked into a licsl Craigslist sale of 60 pounds of commercial cast bullets for it and have been shooting those up. I need to hunt with it one day.

Yeah I remember the claims made about how bad anything lead in ammunition was for planet earth most of which were disproven, but that didn’t matter. Got to save the planet with good intentions.

I used to be an avid fisherman and hunter, but the "Washington department of absolutely not" pretty much put an end to that.
