Thanks for reaching out David! We'd definitely point out if a bullet is lead-free in the product description, that being a selling point and all. I can tell you off the top of my head that the SST is a traditional lead core bullet. Hornady calls their solid copper hunting bullet the GMX. I regret that we haven't got any lead-free 6.5 CM ammo in stock for you right now. I also regret that state law has made it impossible for us to ship to California, so I hope you're traveling there from a neighboring state!
