Thread: Lead contaminated meat

I had not given much thought to meat contamination before, although I had been concerned about handling lead projectiles while reloading and making sure to wash the lead dust of my hands.
I have probably swallowed a few lead pellets over the years, and eaten contaminated meat enough. I wonder what the process is for getting a blood lead level test just out of curiosity? That would surely provide a quantifiable level of evidence about good or bad practices.

After reading the article posted here, I went to read Nathan Fosters counter argument as to the use of copper projectiles. I am not convinced that the promotion of copper projectiles is an anti-firearm agenda to reduce ammuntion availability (although I am concerned that this is something that could be taken hold of by the greens and certainly pushed towards that end, as ridiculous as that would be) but may equally be seen as an over reaction to what many think is a non-event, I am at a quandry as to whether I should bother trying copper bullets or not.

Does anyone think it would be worth having a permanent thread in the ballistics section to chronical shooters experiences with copper bullets, if it helps others make a decision on weather or not to use them?
