    I’ve had Dr. test for heavy metals my last 2 years, health check ups. Results have been normal, but have not been to indoor range in several years, always shoot outside range. Never wear respirator when melting or casting, but have plenty of ventilation, and use common sense. Cast and melt WW alone so no one else around except for horses, they may need testing.
