It may be banned in certain areas but lead shot is still sold: https://www.cabelas.com/category/104567580.uts?CQ_view=list&CQ_ztype=GNU&CQ_ref=~type-Lead https://www.cabelas.com/category/104567580.uts?CQ_view=list&... https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Lead-Shot-2-25-Pound/dp/B001QV1A0Q https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Lead-Shot-2-25-Pound/dp/B001QV... And some bans have been reversed: New U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Thursday issued an order overturning an Obama administration ban on the controversial use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle used on federal lands and waters https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-interior-zinke/new-interior-head-lifts-lead-ammunition-ban-in-nod-to-hunters-idUSKBN16930Z https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-interior-zinke/new-in... But even if there were a ban, since this hotel has been doing this since the 1930's, they could still have a few hundred pound bags of real lead shot in the basement that they're using for this.

Lead is still used for dove and clay shooting. I think in most places the steel restrictions only applies to waterfowl (may even be federal).

  The point is to keep lead out of the carcasses many other animals eat as direct ingestion would cause the second most harm (first being to have it delivered straight from the barrel). Lead shot that falls to the ground when clay shooting is potentially dangerous but far less than when ingested.

I'm guessing most ammo being used isn't for hunting, it's for target shooting. Lead ammo is still legal for that (and ranges can make some decent money by sifting through their berms and recycling the lead). Kind of a moot point, but I don't think Cabela's has any locations in California, and they stopped shipping here after Prop 63
