Do some research on it yourself if you doubt what I said. When I started casting I was concerned about lead. After lots of research, that is what I learned.

No dog in this fight. I do remember when I went to the FBI Firearms Instructors Course, I was told about lead poisoning. They said if we worked an indoor range that we needed to have a blood draw every 3-4 months to look for lead in our blood. They were also talking about the air filtration systems in the ranges. This was 1988, so I would guess back then they believed you could breathe it in.........
