I am not 100% sold on the health hazard. One reason is reloading ammo is quite a bit of exposure to lead. Lead does stop radio waves and other radiation so it may need deeper digging.
Lead is a health hazard. But there are caveats that impact the intake of lead. Lead oxide is bad - very bad in that it's easy to absorb. Handling lead bullets (normally minimally available lead oxides) isn't too bad. You can wash it off, and your skin is a good barrier as long as there isn't any way to absorb the lead. The realty is most lead bullets are coated anyway - usually with wax or lube. Some have a plastic coating and then there's the jacketed varieties, all minimizing exposure.
The lead coat on bullet is not there when you are melting and pouring your own.
Is Lead oxide what was in paint they said kids were eating?
I remember using lead based paints that actually lasted, never faded in the sunlight (for auto paints and exterior), there seemed to be better thermal efficiency as well for home walls etc
My point really is with everything else we have been lied to about.
Why was the whole lead based paint attack not also lies.
