As of July 1st, CA bans use of lead-based ammo for hunting.

Unfortunately, Maker is not yet in the “Certified List” for use in CA. I’ve spoken to Paul at Maker a couple of times about it, and he said they are really slow to action.

Dont really care. Lived in CA all my life and hunting here is terrible and a waste of time unless you buy points for 20 years give or take for a half decent tag

So Cavity Back is on the list, which is interesting, since I think Maker actually produces them.
I also see Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos is there. I should be doing some hog testing with it after I finish with the non-compliant Sierra TMKs.
Kill a hog. Save the planet.

I don't live in a lead free state, but I use all copper Hammer Hunter bullets in all my hunting rifles. For my Grendels i use the 99 grain. Supper easy load development and very accurate.

Hammer is on the CA list. I just worked up a grendel load for the 99gn Hammer hunters. I like it better than the 100on Barnes ttsx for load/accuracy, but have not yet had the opportunity to see how it works on game. But I've seen only good reports from a couple of hunting forums. For my 260 Rem and 300WM, I've been pretty happy with the Barnes LRX bullets.
