Washington state is trending towards requiring unleaded bullets for big game hunting as well. I've been slowly laying in a supply from Nosler, Barnes and Hornady. All are shooting well.
Have thousands of good lead-core hunting bullets on hand though, often purchased from Shooters Pro Shop when...
I think this is the only firearms forum I've been on where I've actually met folks from the forum in person.
I've hunted with a couple of folks from this forum, stayed with others (thank you!) and enjoyed some in person and phone conversations with others. Good people!

Ya, they re-released the solid base, 10+ years ago and I scooped up quite a few. Apparently they're using them again. It's a good bullet, stronger than the typical cup and core offering.
