Your shooting jacketed ammo so your lead exposure wouldn't be a health problem. If you got a problem with the heat think about these little factors to yourself...1.) It isn't 110 degrees in the desert; 2.) I'm not 5,700 miles from home; 3.) I'm not dressed in a full BDU uniform with 30 pound flack jacket and helmet and carrying 70+ lbs. not including the water you have to carry; and 4.) There is very little chance that anyone will shoot at me or that I might drive over a bomb in the road today! Thanks an iraqi/afgan and desert storm vet.
