Minn. DNR conducting lead bullet fragmentation test

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is conducting a study to examine the fragmentation of lead bullets by shooting various bullet types into sheep carcasses. The sheep will subsequently be X-rayed and tested at the University of Minnesota's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. "The goal is to simply give hunters some recommendations on bullet selection,'' said Lou Cornicelli, big game manager for the agency. Doug Smith reports in The Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
