Because Lead from auto batteries sin't pure lead any more, it has a lot of trace elements that can be harmful to you & anyone around you that breaths the fumes of these other trace elements like Arcenic just to name a great one.

If you go to the Auto repair shop that does tire work like Pepboys or what not you can see about acquiring their Adhesive Wheel Weights, they are almost pure lead with very little other elements in it making it pretty soft for muzzleloading bullets.
