There is effort to reduce the amount of environmental lead. However, its properties of high corrosion resistance, high malleability, heavy weight, and low melting point lend it to numerous uses. Some of the common uses for lead are: Bullets (all kinds). Fishing Sinkers Tire/Wheel Weights Soldering Components (although now illegal for fresh water Plumbing, but still used with electronics & non-potable water systems including automobile radiators). Some older houses have lead waste water pipes. Used as a drain plumbing sealant. Keel weights on sailboats Component in Pewter, although now only used for decorative purposes. Pencil lead is made out of graphite, and is not made out of lead metal.

Minimum .22 cal. lead pellets Minimum 580 F.P.S. PBA pellets 725 F.P.S Minimum .25 cal. lead pellets Minimum 550 F.P.S PBA pellets 700 F.P.S. Minimum This is just based on what I've seen work.

A mixture of lead and aluminium pellets?
This mixture could be used in applications where both the weight of lead and the lighter weight of aluminium are desired. One common use is in shotgun ammunition, where the lead provides density for stopping power and the aluminium reduces recoil. It is important to handle lead with caution due to its toxicity.
Can a Daisy Red Ryder use lead airgun pellets?
Now I'm not exactly sure, but the answer would probably yes. I'd Google it up some more, but you probably can load them and fire them depending on the size and mass. <><><><> New Answer<><><> NO DO NOT use pellets in a Daisy Red Ryder. The BB rifle is NOT designed to shoot pellets. It will damage the rifle. There is no way to load a pellet into a Red Ryder. The bb's are gravity fed into the breech of the gun and it is sealed making it impossible to do so. Yes there is a way. The original Daisy was loaded by dropping the BB down the barrel. Pellets have a soft lead skirt on them, that is designed to catch the air and force it out of the barrel. If you push it backwards down the barrel it might turn and cause jamming. Do not try to make the rifle shoot something it was NOT designed to do.
