God damn it I thought I found the perfect hobby but now I find I’m risking my families lives as well as shaving a few points off my own Iq. Are there any lead free hollow point 9mm worth getting? Am I blowing this problem out of proportion? Seems unavoidable to not breathe it in even outside. Not to mention most gun enthusiasts get super fucking defensive when this subject is merely brought up.
Lead poisoning
I *touched* hollow points which aren’t completely copper cased I guess I’m fucked. God damnit so many things I enjoy are bad for me , weed nicotine video games women guns fuck... I thought this could be something I could have fun with wholeheartedly
Blazer clean fire and federal AE indoor range come to mind. TMJ bullets(no exposed base), and non toxic primers.
fuck off smoothbrain, sell all your guns
Wtf ?
>people will actually fall for this b8.
I want to go back.
Unless you are eating the bullets you will be fine.
Just down mess with priming compound without washing your hands afterward.
Who are you trying to fool? It's not like you read books user.
Oh shit I thought they would be dumb expensive for practice rounds but that’s not bad at all thanks m8
>lead poisoning
Maybe that's what is wrong with me!
Hollow points are a stale meme. If you aren't down with oldschool FMJ, you best start shooting screwdrivers.
Actually I’m so god damn perfect that I want to preserve my being thanks
I used cast lead soldiers as a kid and enjoy casting bullets. You're a hypochondriac snowflake faggot. I've also seen animals die from LEAD PAINT ingestion. So don't eat lead paint.
Yeah so I’m just going to buy lead free bullets thanks guys
No....no you are not. Bad news you parents fucked you up, you've a retard and a snowflake
Who’s to say you’re not fucked because of that perception is literally subjective
Pick up a buttplug to because you are definitely a massive faggot and very easily influenced by nonsense
Don't be all that worried about touching lead. I'm not saying go sleep on a lead mattress, just don't purposely ingest any and you'll be fine.
Well, I earn six figures in an advanced engineering field and understand metal toxicity unlike you.
I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda
>being this boomerpilled about lead exposure
Remember that time removing leaded gasoline from the market dropped the crime rate by 20%?
You'd have to ingest very easily absorbable forms as found in e.g lead paint or drink water from old ead pipes for DECADES. Lead shot in e.g wildfoul just goes out your ass. OP and his I'll are drooling retard tier snowflakes. I always assume this garbage was some Durr hurt anti gun bullshit.

Holy shit. An actual honest to goodness big lead shill, and he types like a 72 IQ mong. It's like i'm in a comedy sketch right now or something.
Most lead exposure from ammunition comes from the primers, which contain lead styphnate. Exceedingly little lead exposure comes from exposed bases on your bullets.
For most people, just practice good habits about not eating or drinking on the range and washing your hands after shooting. Don't eat your boogers and all that shit after shooting either.
If you work at a range or shoot daily, wash your range jacket or clothes often, try to shower soon after coming home, and ask your doc to check the lead level in your blood when you do your annual check-up.
Thanks for all your responses guys, I’m curious about the penetration of some of these lead free broad heads. 1070fps 315 ft lbs energy can anyone comment on this particular type? Can it actually get to organs and can I figure that out on my own
Please don’t make a kys joke about finding that out on my own
do it.
I would start smoking weed, nicotine, and masturbating again before I did that. It’s my ultimate defense move
do it
Fuck off glow nigger
You guys are super le edgy for me
Thanks for everyone’s help, Clean fire primer and Tmj is my next purchase. Very reasonably priced , now I get to decide on a defensive carry round c:
>telling someone to smoke and fap
>super le edgy
...thanks?
>now I get to decide on a defensive carry round
Assuming 9mm, .40, or .45: Heavy for caliber standard pressure HST. Top tier performance, bonafide street results, 50-60CPR on the internet. Can't really be beat.
Yeah I was coming back to say I’m not going to try and find a lead free defensive round since I won’t be firing them often. Sticking with the federal hst which seems all the rage with the kids
Awesome this was very productive : fuck lead in practice rounds. In defensive rounds those leaded primers are somewhat justified since they need longer shelf lives and won’t be fired as often.
HST is a good choice.
I'd also give consideration to Speer Gold Dots. The new G2 Gold Dot has the hollows filled with some fancy polymer that's supposed to make the expansion more reliable. Seems to be getting received pretty well by a lot of police departments.
>The new G2 Gold Dot
They made some waves back in the day when they were first released, the FBI for instance was going to switch to them but the 1st generation of bullets had some serious performance issues and they opted to go with the critical duty instead because of that. I hear the second generation is good to go, but im not sure how much it would offer over the CD in terms of downrange performance, and the CD seems to have a bit greater market/LEO support at the moment. A jacket that's both thoroughly chemically and mechanically bonded seems to be the major difference between the two, although that does also come with it's own drawbacks, namely hardness of the lead. Definitely not a bad choice though.
I hear cd has no penetration, r/ccw is super against them.
Oh not civil defense
