Commentary: Federal Ammo criticizes Minnesota DNR for lead-shot order regarding SNAs

A new order was signed June 27, 2023, by Minnesota DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen that will require hunters to use nontoxic, lead-free ammunition when hunting on 56 state scientific and natural areas where hunting is allowed. (Stock photo)

Federal Ammunition has been in Anoka for more than 100 years. We are the world leader in ammunition design and manufacturing, and we proudly employ more than 1,500 Minnesotans. These are high-quality, local jobs. The city, county, and neighbors have historically supported what we do because of the social, economic, and philanthropic benefits we bring to the region.
We are astonished by the recent Minnesota Department of Natural Resources order banning the use of traditional ammunition on 56 scientific and natural areas (SNAs) across the state.
