Before COVID I was shooting a lot 200+ rounds a week and casting bullets and loading ammo. Had yearly dr visit with blood work blood lead level was 10. Dr said 5 and under was acceptable but 0 was the goal. Causes of lead
1- spent primers
2-casting lead
3- handling fired brass
4- shooting indoor range
For the next 8 months I wore latex gloves when loading and handling Bullets. Wore dust mask when casting Bullets out doors and lead dropped to 5. Several of the guys had blood tested and none of them were below 10 and 3 were 25. Bottom line for me is you can’t be to careful
