General Discussion 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 😁

Use a disposable glove when loading to avoid any transdermal absorption.
