Just curious what the common wisdom here on the forum is about lead boolits and lead-related health concerns...
If eating lead paint damages the brains of toddlers, what does eating lead residue in game do? What about the casting process itself? Fumes? Powder?
Thoughts? Concerns?

No concerns.
"lead residue" in game is virtually non-existant
The health problems can arise if a person does not cast in a properly ventilated area. If your casting setup is done correctly you don't have to worry.
When handling lead a person should wash their hands completely (that means scrubbing like a surgeon does) before eating, picking their nose, sucking on their fingers, smoking and whatever you do where you handle something and then stick it in your mouth.
