Don't smoke or eat when reloading, and always wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Within the past few years a buddy and i, both reloaders for 50+ years, got our lead levels checked just for the sake of curiosity. Results -- our lead levels were lower than the average person's level. My physician says the majority of shooting-related elevated levels come from shooting in poorly-ventilated indoor ranges. Lead styphynate primers put out a cloud of easily-inhaled micro-particles.
