    Lead itself is not that dangerous as long as you aren't eating it daily. Lead oxides are the danger area. Like the lead in paint, really old lead can be oxidized if exposed to acidic environment...

    We ate a lot of shotgun harvested game when I was a kid. There were always a few shot in
    the toilet bowl. They don't flush well at all.
    Closest recorded range Chrony kill (3 feet with witnesses)

    Thank you Mary. If a new casters questions could be answered with this kind of common sense answer, we'd all be better off!
