Cheap .22 target loads, shotgun target loads, and even some birdshot are full of the stuff.
But, even if you don’t shoot those often, lead is still in all smokeless powder and primers. Every time you fire a round of any kind, there’s airborne lead being aerosolized. That’s why indoor ranges are required to be ventilated and why many don’t allow pregnant women in the shooting area.
Lead is “that bad”. The health effects are serious and undeniable. But don’t take my word for it, please educate yourself and do better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning
Even if you don’t care about your own health, lead exposure isn’t taken seriously enough in our hobby, and your attitude makes all us look ignorant.
