Greetings,

It my my understanding cast bullets with no coating are "unsafe" for indoor shooting. Is there a product I can spray on the lead bullets and make them safer?

Thank you

Unsafe how? If you're referring to lead getting in the air, most of the airborne lead present in indoor ranges gets there via the primer smoke, not the bullet.

I shoot tons of lead rounds at the indoor range I'm a member of, and so do a fair number of the shooters around me. Some indoor ranges force their patrons to purchase special ammo (such as Winclean) for use in their facilities, but this isn't because other rounds are "unsafe" - it's because the range can charge a premium for the ammo, and may also be because the range isn't up to "snuff" as it were, in the ventilation department.
