Greetings all. I am going to be replacing the bit o' leather I currently use to hold the flint in my flintlock with a piece of lead.

That got me to thinking about the lead we handle when shooting MLs.

Are there any particular health hazards when it comes the way we typically handle lead? This is assuming you don't shoot every day, wash your hands after shooting and don't suck your thumb in between shots

Thanks.
