With a new little-one on the way, I've been keenly interested in totally Non-toxic (lead free) ammunition. Here's some useful research the state of NJ did:

Are non-toxic-ammunition-only ranges the wave of the future?
It would certainly eliminate one more excuse for the anti-gunners (environmental impact of lead), and would decrease costs for range owners (air-flow equipment, lead cleanup, etc.). Eventually with increased economies of scale, they can hopefully get those non-toxic ammunition costs down.
