"Turned out the worst complainers about their blood were running a cast bullet operation out of their garage with very little ventilation."
I'm thinking they did a lot more wrong than poor ventilation. I've cast bullet for 54 years man and boy, both for my own personal use and for an outfit that cast bullets for sale. The casting was done in a small 10x10 foot room witht he door closed, usually at least three of us working with each of us having two pots going, one to cast and the other with fresh metal melting. it doesn't take long to drain a 20 pound pot when you're using two 6 cavity molds, alternating back and forth. We smoked, drank Cokes and even ate out lunch there which as we all know today was something that should not have been done. Many years later, when Kommiefornia started griping and moaning about lead, I had my blood serum level tested. It was not only normal, but was considered below what was considered average for a person of my age and below what the current allowable standards of today are. These days, I'm very careful to keep things that way. FWIW, those total Metal jacket bullets that are nothing but copper plated lead are acceptable at most indoor ranges. Some of them now make you buy their ammo which has the TMJ bullet and lead free primers. Paul B. |
