Hey 2hawk, The dip is a health risk. However, I wear latex gloves during the process and once it has removed the lead from the barrel I imidiatly throw away the liquid. Calling it a "huge health risk" is an overstatement. If your a lead reloaded like myself lead is used for casting and reloading and with proper safeguards will not raise your lead levels. The dip can be made inert by adding sulfuric acid which will reform the lead into a solid for filtration and safe disposal.

THe DIP works in 10-30 minutes and I never have changed a batch so the gentleman in your post who you quote is a bit misinformed. Feel free to look up Lead Acetate and then quote me a source.


CWH44300; I have that problem with my cast wheel weights (thier half the price of lead). My bullets drop about 22bhn and shooting them out of my snub 38's produces leading. I can fire those same bullets out of my 357 mag with no leading. So my experience is right in line with what your saying.
