Ben Stoeger discusses lead exposure from shooting, noting his own blood lead levels are not elevated due to primarily shooting outdoors with factory ammunition and not collecting brass. He emphasizes that significant lead exposure issues are typically associated with indoor ranges, particularly those with poor ventilation. Stoeger advises caution when sweeping brass indoors and recommends respiratory protection (filtered masks) in poorly ventilated environments. He also notes that working at an indoor range daily or handling materials like breaching charges would present a much higher risk.
