Thanked: 335Jimmy,
Casting is not a problem if you are sensible about it. Ventilation is a key, but lead doesn't begin to vaporize until about 1000 degrees and casting is done at significantly lower temperatures. Don't handle food or put your hands to your mouth until you have washed your hands well and all should be well.
Gugi,
I'm a black powder cartridge shooter and cast my own bullets for assuring myself of a quality projectile. Much of my shooting is done at 800-1000 yards and the bullet needs to be very uniform and very like all the others in the cartridge box or they may not hit the target where I'm expecting them to go.
