Seasoned Bird Shot! No more lead pellets!

Is this a spoof site? Doesn't seem to be, but who knows. :)

Assuming it's real, I wonder what the heck the coating is on those pellets. It would have to be very strong to keep from disintigrating when fired, yet melt when you cook the bird and it has to be edible.

I'm still trying to figure out how the pellets don't turn into dust when they're fired. The ballistics on them can't be the same as lead or steel shot. They'd be much lighter.


I was thinking that, too. Probably about the same characteristics as rock salt. I wouldn't think heat so much as moisture as the melting mechanism for the coating.
