All molten lead gives off particles in vapourised form, admittedly the hotter it gets more vapour/fumes are formed.dromia wrote:No I don't think they are wrong it is your ignorant and bigoted interpretation of that in the context of bullet casting that is so spitefully wrong.ColinR wrote:Rather than misleading people about the dangers of lead ingestion, by whatever route, I suggest you read some of the vast amounts of medical literature relating to lead poisoning.

Re: Subsonic for AW
Aye but at bullet casting temperatures it is not sufficient to cause concern.
I have been casting all my life and have spent god knows how many hours, days, weeks standing over a lead pot casting and smelting and my lead levels are fine and always have been.
Like everything else simple, common sense practices around bullet casting make it quiet safe with no health threats.
It is uninformed apocryphal scaremongering like this that keeps shooting such a narrow, bland and conservative activity in this country.
