The conversation around lead shot alternatives is changing the way shooters think about their ammunition. From choosing the right load for a particular discipline to considering compatibility with their gun, finding the right cartridge is about more than simply changing what’s inside the case.
At Lyalvale Express, we’re continuing to explore what comes next, developing and offering of non-lead cartridge options designed around the varied needs of the shooting community.
Exploring Our Steel and Bismuth Cartridges
Our current non-lead offering includes steel and bismuth cartridges, providing shooters with options to explore as they consider alternatives to traditional lead loads.
From smaller gauge shooting to game and clay disciplines, different shooters have different requirements. Bismuth, for example, opens up opportunities for smaller gauge ammunition, including .410 cartridges, helping to support the development of options for shooters who use smaller caliber guns.
More Than What’s on the Shelf
While our current range reflects the products available today, our work doesn’t stop there.
Behind the scenes, we’re continuing to explore new materials, technologies and load combinations as we look at how our range can evolve. The goal is simple: to help ensure shooters have access to cartridges that suit an increasingly diverse range of requirements.
We’ve previously developed bespoke loads using copper shot, tungsten and other alloys, giving us experience in exploring materials beyond those currently featured in our standard range.
That ongoing work helps us consider the possibilities for future development, while keeping the needs of the shooter at the center of what we do.
