YORK, S.C. – December 15, 2025 – The Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF), a leading nonprofit organization focused on increasing cultural acceptance of gun ownership, hunting, fishing, trapping and target shooting, has released a presentation recording that discusses results from their new research on the topic of lead ammunition.
The use of lead ammunition in hunting has been debated for decades, with positions ranging from no regulation to voluntary reductions and outright bans.
OSCF recently completed two comprehensive, nationwide studies examining the pricing and availability of copper and lead ammunition, as well as the impacts of lead ammunition on wildlife populations.
Manufacturers, retailers, ranges, media and anyone connected to hunting or ammunition are encouraged to watch the presentation available at outdoorstewards.org.
Speakers include OSCF Executive Director Jim Curcuruto, Wildlife Biologist Russ Mason and NRA Foundation Executive Director Peter Churchbourne.
