Nukem,

You hit the nail on the head.

One should be careful with the dust created by the tumbling media. If you can smell the media when you are handling it, dumping it, and sifting it, you are breathing the dust.

This media in time can become loaded with the lead styphnate compounds you speak of. Wear a dust mask when handling media. Don't forget. This is the primary reason that alot of indoor ranges have been closed due to air quality issues. Primer and bullet lead VAPORS. A chunk of lead is fairly inert but, put lead vapors into the air and it's a whole 'nother story.

We have a lot of younger guys here so, it's cheap insurance to at least where a dust mask when sifting.

Don't mean to be an alarmist with this "book" but what does a pack of dust masks cost to be on the safe side.

Now, back to some Topless Tumblers

FWIW
