Non-lead pellets

[RoyalWulff]

Anyone have any experience with the H & N Match Green Non-Lead Pellets?
I recently purchased a Steyr pistol to shoot in my basement and I am more than happy to spend a few dollars more for these lead free pellets so long as they are not an inferior product.
Any info/opinions?

Shoot lead, use a good pellet trap wash yoir hands after shooting, no problem

The only way to know if your pistol likes these match green pellets is by trying them out. I perceive that you’re worried about lead exposure by shooting lead pellets in your basement, the risk is negligible if you clean up after each shooting session. You might want to use some ballistic/impact putty on the back of your steel plate to capture lead fragments and dust.

Thanks guys. I have lead pellets to shoot at the range and other places but I have a very young daughter with a habit of putting things she finds on the floor in her mouth so I’d like to try to avoid the possibility of having lead pellets floating around your home. I will give the lead free pellets a shot and see how they stack up.

Not sure swallowing tin pellets is a good idea either, even if nationally less toxic.
Use a good catcher preferably with duct putty as suggested and vacuum up after you.
Do tiny kids really get free range in a typical basement??

Just wash hands with soap and water after shooting.
