    Yeah there's no safe level of lead for human consumption. Try not to eat it. I manage the risk while continuing to use lead bullets by not taking meat from close to the likely fragmentation...

    How bolt internals should be treated depends a bit on where you hunt . . . South Is tops in winter, run it very dry or it'll gum up. Elsewhere a very light wipe of a thin oil. After you've...

    rupert liked post by Oldbloke On thread : Headspace gauge/ case head separation
    This is how I do it now. IMO for hunters anything from 0.002" to 0.005" would be fine as you tend to lose cases in the field. The tape is a good trick. To measure bump u can get away with a pistol...
