Yeah, nobody forgot, but you missed the point I made, completely. Because yeah, I might have forgotten that most bullets are lead <eye roll>. You, like most, seem to think that the bullet is the most threatening health wise, but it's not...which was my point, and the reason I brought it up...because these discussion always talk about the bullet...which isn't the biggest risk. There's two areas where lead becomes aerolyzed, and of immediate threat to health in an indoor or unventilated shooting area. The primer, and the base of the bullet where the powder contacts it. The bullet can be mitigated by using a TMJ or completely encapsulated bullet, even a poly coat mitigates that. The primer is almost never even considered, even though it's the most significant contribution to an immediate health risk. The minute you fire your gun indoors, you are breathing in vaporized lead, antimony, different nitrates, even aerolyzed aluminum or other other metals. This isn't a "it doesn't bother me for a few minutes" kind of thing, and over and above the risk of "lead poisoning"...this is exposing yourself to something that can have an impact almost immediately, and over a surprisingly short period of time. The downrange impact of the bullet is of virtually no concern at all, other than spalling, and long term contamination....but the immediate health consequences of the primer is a risk that is almost never considered, and the highest risk associated with indoor shooting.
