There are many, many old wive's tales and dire warnings about lead poisoning from reloading and casting, most are just repeated so many times they become "fact". Fear can be crippling to the point of not participating or excessive PPDs. Some reloaders/casters would have you using a full Haz-Mat suit in a negative ventilation room with self contained breathing aparatus. Like many I have been reloading (bare handed) for over 40 years, casting sinkers and bullets for maybe 50 years, shooting at an old indoor range for maybe 10-12 years, and my annual blood tests show low/normal heavy metals. When I was working on construction equipment I occasuonally used the "protective hand cream" provided by the Dept., but never for reloadng (works well when painting). Today, after reloading/casting/shooting I wash my hands with Dawn (last blood/lead test was 2 years ago; normal levels)

K.I.S.S.! Common sense will keep you healthy, and Chicken Little lied...
