your over by Don then.
i'm on the eastern side.
I hear ya!!!been pipe fighting for 30 years myself.I'm almost 72 years old, been casting and handling lead since I was a teen. Hasn't killed me yet, though other things have tried.
Been an industrial Pipefitter for over thirty years.................been exposed to more toxic stuff, than lead.
And all those airgun pellets and split shot that I held in my mouth as a youth!!!!View attachment 33764 Can't always do that. Prime example would be when fishing and using lead sinkers/weights. My boat isn't equipped with a kitchen sink.
Try some plated bullets like Berrys, I used thousands as have my friends, they work great. Just google " plated bullets"Thank you for your reply, first what are the name and numbers for a business anything more you didn’t say the name of on the bullets??? Please just can give me some more on it??? Thank you
Yes sir!!there's also this stuff out there called de-lead soap. [comes in a shampoo too]
i can still remember the smell of the stuff after 25 years of not using it.
Considering the rise in Autism, cancers and other diseases, I'm more worried about the various colorings, preservatives, additives and what not in our food than I am about any danger from casting or handling lead alloys!Lead isn't like plutonuim--though EPA and other wonks preach that drivel. What the guys have said on here above is accurate info--keep the stuff out of your mouth and wash hands after handling.
I worry more about Hoppe's #9 and Break-Free than I do about lead. I ALWAYS wear exam gloves when I clean guns with solvents, then wash up really good.
100%!!! Lead is in the ground. Its organic, these chemicals and additives are not.Considering the rise in Autism, cancers and other diseases, I'm more worried about the various colorings, preservatives, additives and what not in our food than I am about any danger from casting or handling lead alloys!
Yeah, but you're a reloader. The one and only time, I bought factory 45 LC ammo, was when I purchased my BH in the 80's. I reloaded but not that caliber. So, I purchased Winchester Silvertip ammo, 20 round boxes, to make sure the gun functioned and I had brass to reload. That's the only factory ammo the BH ever saw. I think there is still a box, in the vault.A SAA and ivory grips can be an attractive match, but certainly not a SAA in bright stainless steel.
When I bought my Uberti Cattleman there was a box of .45 Colt in the display case/counter. Didn't even think of buying it. As far as I know it's still there.
