So I was reading in the DIY forum that lead shot from ammunition can be used/same thing as the lead in soft weights? Is this true? Is there any difference between the lead in soft weights and the lead that the environmentalists get all bent out of shape about? Is this the same kind of lead that we shouldn't be exposed to? I always thought it must be some compound that was safe. Is the lead in soft weights the same kind of lead that is in lead paint, etc. ???? I've always wondered why when you wash soft weights it the water turns white. Is this the bad kind of lead? Please tell me it's not.
