Old,old lead shot, dust is dangerous
I was given 2 bags of no7.5 shot,
May be 30 yrs old. I opened the bags and covered in gray dust.
I was told that dust is oxidized from the shot and contains arsenic.
I went outside and poured into plastic bottles and sprayed orange furniture
Oil into bottle and now reloading
Fine. Lemon furniture oil works also
It is so,so thin, it does not gum up shot, hence no dangerous dust.
I was also told to just add graphite
To the shot, but I figured the dust
Could still get airborne
Hope this helps someone
