    It occurred to me that perhaps folks are confusing a bullet and a
    casing. The bullet IS lead. It was inside the casing, which is brass.
    If this is a spent cartridge, the casing is empty (bullet is the part
    that goes out the barrel). Minute particles of lead inside the casing
    perhaps but unless someone is eating with it or doing some other
    thing to tranfer said particles....i don't see the dangers. There's
    far more dangerous stuff to spend your worries on (anyone hear about
    airborne mercury moving from the Midwest and settling in NE forests
    and getting in to the water?).
