Casting should be done in an open, airy room, or better yet, outside. (I now try to do all my casting in the spring & fall, when the weather is cool, but nice. Then I set up my casting operation on the back patio.....

Leadwill not harm anyone unless they ingest (eat) lead fragments or powder that can result from handling the lead objects. It will NOT seep into your system thruyour skin or lungs, unless you directly inhale the fumes off of the lead pot while the lead is molten, such as when fluxing, etc. Don't let kids handle lead items.

You'll be surprised at what you can accomplish with cast bullets.

I recommend getting Veral Smith's handbook, Jacketed Performance with Cast Bullets. (LBT-Lead Bullet Technologies) Good Luck & have fun!
