Why is lead free ammunition so important? Firing ranges continue to be one of the largest sources of lead pollution. Lead pollution results in contamination of our drinking water and ground soil. It is estimated that just 15 customers shooting 50 rounds a day would put nearly nine million pounds of lead into the environment per year. It is Liberty's goal to reduce the amount of lead pollution globally. With the release of our civilian portfolio our lead free hunting, home protection, and personal use ammunition will reduce the lead pollution outside of firing ranges.
