What type of shotgun pellets are allowed for waterfowl hunting in the US?

Lead
Copper
Steel
Bismuth

The correct answer is: Steel

Waterfowl hunting is strictly regulated in the US to ensure the sustainability of waterfowl populations. As such, lead pellets are not allowed for waterfowl hunting as they pose a threat to the environment due to their toxic nature. Copper pellets may also not be allowed as they can fragment and cause lead poisoning in waterfowl. Bismuth pellets, although similar in density to lead, may not be allowed due to their high cost. Therefore, the only safe and affordable option for waterfowl hunting in the US is steel pellets, which are non-toxic and pose minimal risk to the environment.
