It’s a bit long and it takes him a little while to get actually going.
But found it interesting that according to him Hunters/shooters get more lead in their system from handling ammo, spent casings than actually eating lead particles.
Also like Arizona’s way of encouraging using copper bullets much better than California’s
It was interesting for sure. He puts the studies in a more proper perspective. Like that eagles grow 4% slower when exposed to lead but not the typical media coverage saying we need to ban lead as it’s killing all the eagles. Saying so is just not being truthful. And even if lead exposure raises you level beyond the fda safe level they see no harm in people’s health. And the fact that there are different kinds of lead. The lead that used to be in gasoline is not the same as the lead in ammunition. And the harm it does is much less as well because of the differences. My takeaway was lead in ammunition is not a big enough problem to ban it or worry about. There are way more important health issues to fix that have much bigger impacts on our health
Yeah, the different types of lead was an eye opener for me. Never heard that discussion before
I had a team of electronics technicians that build and repaired boards before lead free solder arrived. I had have them wear lead sniffers around their necks for a few days to get samples from them as they did their jobs. Results was from melting solder at those temps was no contamination. Lead as a metal requires a very high temp to turn into something you ingest. I still had to ban drinking and eating in the area and hang curtains and other safety measures.
Having said this - do wash your hands after shooting and reloading just to be safe.
