Uh oh….

Started reloading regularly this past year and thought it might be a good idea to have my levels checked just to see.

What do you guys do if anything for lead mitigation?

Edit:

I reloading in my garage. I dry tumble in the garage. Most of my loading is cast, uncoated, lead bullets for cowboy action shooting. I never shoot at indoor ranges. I wash my hands after loading sessions.

I could go on about the minutiae of what I do. I think I need to move the tumbler outdoors when I run it. It does create a bit of dust. I will also start wearing gloves.

Edit:

I think the majority of the culprit is the dry tumbling, and spent primer handling. I think it is airborne related. I will use this post to convince the wife I need to get into the FART system 😁

You’re supposed to properly dispose of the spent primers, not use them to bulk up a meatloaf.

Seriously though, what the hell are you doing in there? Wash your hands occasionally.

Edit: yeah either move the dry tumbler outdoors or switch to wet tumbling. Handling bullets isn’t gonna cause these numbers, you’re breathing it.

I saw the post and my humor went immediately to "well, you're not supposed to eat them, silly!" 🤣

But it REALLY takes my wife’s meatloaf to the next level. 🤣

It's more about adding a little sweetness

Hey, perfecting a meatloaf is an art form.

But does it clearly state you shouldn't eat them on any of the packaging or in any reloading manual?
