Beeman has fielded a lot of questions from customers about the potential danger of handling lead pellets. We can attest to that because we (Straight Shooters) get many of the same questions. And the answer is that as long as pellets are not placed in one's mouth and as long as the shooter washes his/her hands after a shooting session, lead pellets pose little if any health hazard.

Now a customer now has available a great option to be able to get the power of the lead pellet without the exposure to it.  These pellets are slightly different in weight, but all other characteristics are the same as the original Kodiak pellets. In addition they are excellent for keeping your gun's bore much cleaner because there is no lead dust left behind in the bore.  If lead exposure is something you want to avoid or you are just looking for a cool looking pellet you'll want to try these pellets.
