I understand the primer is a largest source of lead exposure, are there lead free primers? If non, why not? Do you regularly make sure to de lead yourself and your clothing? Do you get your lead levels checked?Do you take measures to decrease your lead exposure?
>>65200453I just shoot outside and pretend everything will be fine.
>>65200453Whats so bad about peanut butter?
>>65200467Lectins and aflatoxin
>>65200453I'm pretty sure Fiocchi was working on some lead free primers but it could've been someone else>>65200458this
>>65200453>are there lead free primersYes, at least Sako and S&B make ammo with lead free primers
>>65200479>>65200508I assume they're probably a lot more expensive, maybe even less reliable A big police department or something adopting rounds with lead free primers would probably help a lot with econmemies of scale
>Federal, Fort Smith, and Fiocchi all produce lead free primers. >total metal jacket, total plastic jacket, projectiles without exposed lead, and non lead projectiles are commonly available>shooting outdoors dramatically reduces lead exposure and traumatic brain injury from overpressure. >Wiping off your hands, face, and firearm with de leading wipes helps tremendously as does wiping off your footwear and washing your range clothes in de leading detergent. The easiest thing to do is not use lead primers and exposed lead bullets. It's more expensive but most people don't shoot much so the cost increase is marginal.
great-grandparents grew up with lead pipes, lead paint, asbestos, etc... lived to be 90. average person nowadays dies at 70 from a super stroke
>>65200566They didn't eat the ultra processed slop or use a dozen drugs.
>>65200453Don't shoot indoors, don't shoot with a suppressor, don't eat while shooting and handling firearms and wash your fucking hands after you're done shooting and you'll never have a problem with lead poisoning
>>65200453Don't chew on the fucking ammo and wash your hands, you'll be fine. Retarda like you treat lead like it's cobalt-60 or some shit. Fun fact, most agricultural products exceed whatever lead level CA sets for human consumption because it's a naturally occurring substance and the amount they deem permissable means 90% of all crop land has too much in it. Do you pump your own gas or are you too scard of getting a drop of petrochemicals on your dainty skin?
>>65200904>this post brought to you by elevated blood lead levels
Lead is dripping from power lines all over america left in place but out of service. Like, a LOT.
>>65200530>traumatic brain injury from overpressurehuh?>>65200965Why.. did you mention America in particular? Weird.
>>65201174>Why.. did you mention America in particular?NTA, I don't think other developed countries have that problem.
>>65201193True, in Europe gypsies would have cleaned that shit up immediately.
>>65200453>are there lead free primers?There have been lead free primers for well over a century.>Do you regularly make sure to de lead yourself and your clothing?No, other than throwing my clothes in the wash with my other clothes and showering once per day.>Do you get your lead levels checked?Once per year, by my employer.>Do you take measures to decrease your lead exposure?Yes. Wet tumble your brass if you reload, shoot outdoors, and don't eat your ammunition. Washing your hands after shooting or handling bullets is probably a good idea but I often don't bother.>>65200566>great-grandparents grew up with lead pipes, lead paint, asbestos, etcAll of that shit is still in most houses built before 1970 or so. The paint was only a problem for kids eating paint chips in public housing projects. Asbestos isn't a problem unless you fuck with it. As for the lead pipes, while your house may not have them, there's a decent chance that the piping that your house is connected to is still lead, depending on where you live. It's not an issue if you buffer the water to be slightly alkaline which any sane water company or municipality does. Flint MI demonstrated what happens when you don't.
>>65202240>don't eat your ammunition.Ok now that's a bit too much to give up.
>>65200453I had an idea for a type of ammo that is literally rubber bullets but instead of being for less lethal use it’s for indoor and lead free practice shooting
When I quit smoking cigarettes years ago I started smoking a pipe so it would be really inconvenient, worked pretty well. Anyways I'd use a spent .308 casing to tamp the tobacco in the pipe and I feel much more dumber since then
>>65200508In that case i guess the primers come from RWS. Beretta companies like to circle jerk that way.
>>65200453>Post-Transition MetalIs there anywhere I can get some non DEI lead for the next /pol/ meetup?I need something that can make it past the chud detectors
>>65200965This is one of the stupidest posts ever.
Just wash your face and hands with d-lead and don't sleep in your clothes idiot.
