This might be a dumb question but is lead ammo for 38 special revolvers dangerous to handle? You can't get lead poisoning from it right?

NO...Of course not, unless you plan on putting it in your mouth and chewing on it.......There was a scare a few years back about inhaling lead dust in Indoor Ranges, but state and federal guidlines have changed making that a non-issue now too.Relax and enjoy shooting your 38 Special.........

As the others have said, there is no real danger, but to be on the side of safety, you still should wash your hands with hot water and soap after handling lead ammo, especially if you;re going to be eating soon after.

Lead poisoning is a real health issue, but mainly for children who chew on toys that have lead paint or other objects. Just wash your hands before you eat.

No, you can't get lead poisoning from casual handling of anything made of lead.

confident. the bullets are the comparable diameter, consequently you will have not have been given any themes with overpressure, or any loopy stuff like that. purely purely be advantageous you alter your powder load consequently for the the lighter or heavier bullet (maximum possibly lighter) if there is no distinction in bullet weight, you dont could replace something. purely fallow regardless of your reloading records says.

Don't chew on the bullets, and wash your hands after handling and you won't have any problem.
And its not a dumb question.
