Not so much since lead shot was banned for waterfowl hunting
The alternatives (like steel, bismuth, and tungsten) are all pretty crappy
What do you believe is the fundamental problem with [American] government?

Gold works a treat. When asteroidal platinum metals get cheap, shotgunning will benefit.

Lead pipes are such an obvious hazard. The Lincoln Project should hammer this and other R public health obstructions. The party that wants Americans dead.

I dont have lead pipes but i do have bronze, potable approved plastic and some type of braided steel lines. Not sure what's worse? Don't they all leach stuff and react with each other?

Consider the solubilities and toxicities of the materials you’ve listed. Your argument fails on two fronts: quantity of materials being leached, and their specific toxic doses.
This is one that has to be answered quantitatively, and step 1 is getting your water from the tap analyzed.
Lead is reactive, soluble and more toxic than anything you’ve listed, unless your bronze is brass. Brass from India and probably China is leaded.

Its rain water i collect in a concrete tank. Arguable the cleanest rain water in the world.
I have no idea on metals their carcinogenic or how they react with another. People used to paint their houses in lead paint and it was in our petrol till not long ago. Plastic anything cannot be good.
