Steel bullets?
The usual layers of editorial oversight are at work, I see. That original article is so full of stupid that I could feel my IQ dropping as I read it.
a) I can’t speak for Utah, but most states put some sort of restrictions on non-lead or non-lead core ammunition, usually classifying it as “armour piercing”. The only exception is shot, where non-lead shot is usually required by law.
b) “steel bullets are problematic because they act “like flint.”” Science fail. Somebody didn’t bother checking how flint and steel create sparks.
c) Again, I can’t speak for Utah, but I’ve never even seen steel or steel-cored bullets for sale (and they’re not even actually banned here in VA).
Unless these people were target shooting with shotguns, I don’t think it was the bullets that started the fires.
Stupid media.

I never gave it much thought until last week when I was shooting mulsurp steel core 5.45 at an AR500 plate after sunset. There were a lot of sparks.
I still find it hard to believe that you can start a wildfire that way, unless you’re shooting tracers.

Careless burning or failing to drown a campfire; careless disposal of smoking materials; lightning; catalytic converters: all of those start almost all the fires.
Airplane crashes start fires, why don’t we ban them?

Jake, which states have prohibitions on non-lead core bullets?
