Not sure if you hunters have seen this but I picked it off the OAL site and thought you might be interested.

- Establish that it is unlawful to possess any
projectile containing lead in excess of the amount
permitted and a firearm capable of firing the
projectile while taking or attempting to take any
big game.
> To me this would tell me to be real careful what I also carry in my belt gun, when I did hunt I carried a pistola with home made snake shot loads made out of #8 lead shot <
- Establish that is unlawful to possess any projectile
containing lead in excess of the amount permitted
and a firearm capable of firing the projectile while
taking or attempting to take any nongame species
(exempting .22 caliber or less as described in
proposed change #5 below).
- Exempt .22 caliber or smaller, rimfire cartridges
and their projectiles from the non–lead projectile
requirement. These calibers would be exempted
because there are no feasible non–lead
alternatives. Therefore, coyote hunting with a .22
caliber or smaller, rimfire cartridge and their
projectiles is prohibited per section 3004.5, Fish
and Game Code. Nongame species killed with a
.22 caliber or smaller are typically small mammals
that are not considered a staple food source for
condors to scavenge.
>As money hungry as they are now I'd think twice about even having a .22 around on a hunting trip as I'd bet there'd be a ticket in the offing, if any of you know a warden you'd sure want to check before going afeild in these Condor areas<
