safety with lead

[MissouriBullet]

You're right, Ranger. The best part is that my guys did all the work while I was in the new shipping building boxing up production. It's so loud in the shop I hate to go in there anymore and besides, they always run me out anyhow.

Seriously, it's great having guys who have been with you for a while and have learned every in-and-out and upon whom you can rely.

This has gone way off-topic, so let me say that my lead level had climbed to 32 a little over two years ago (I check it at least annually) so I went extreme with the gloves, ventilation, and general awareness of the hazards. 3 months later it had dropped to the low 20's and the last time I checked it was down to 17, which is where it started when I opened the business in '06 and had a baseline heavy metals test.

Great to hear Brad. Really, we all want you alive and well ... for our selfish reasons


Seriously, I say safety first if you handle/work with inhalable lead.

For me, I don't wear gloves when reloading lead bullets, but wash my hands well afterwards.

DON'T LICK YOUR BULLETS AND YOU WON'T GET LEAD POISONING.

But Don, how do you know when they are done?

30,000 bullets? We did that many before 11 AM today.

Show off... not fair, your a ring'a
