A: Hi Karl. Thanks for looking to LuckyGunner.com for your ammo needs. The danger from lead exposure is real, but poses the greatest risk for the very young. As long as you are firing in a well ventilated area (most indoor ranges adhere to strict ventilation guidelines) and remember to wash your hands before eating or drinking, your risk is extremely low, many experts believe non-existent. The way coating is on the .22 LR lead bullets to act as a lubricant during firing rather than any type of exposure protection. You can also choose a copper plated round to further reduce any risk from handling.
