Not sure if this is the correct forum for this. However, had this question asked of me the other day. Can you hunt with coated boolits.
And I honestly had to sit back and think about it. My initial answer was I wouldn't recommend it. On the off chance that I wouldn't want to eat paint or the plastic. But as I thought longer on it. what are the real percentages of that stuff coming off in the meat. No one thinks twice about eating meat that's had raw lead inside it. No one considers jacket material that might fragment either...and coated is supposedly easier on lead contamination when loading - so wouldn't that also translate to meat hunted with it?
But I would love to hear other thoughts.
