Fly's Most Excellent Adventure in Reloading Continues

I'm sure the dust from dry media is just loaded with lead.

You are Absolutely Correct on this item.   A cloud of lead dust is suspended for a coupla feet above a vibrating tumbler.

ALWAYS keep the lid on w/dry media.

BTW, it's a good idea to get tested for lead every year w/your annual physical.   Hardly costs anything extra, and establishes a baseline for yourself, should you ever need it.

And--assuming your BLL is low (under 10micrograms/deciliter)--it will provide a certain Peace of Mind.

this sounds a little strange, but I have been doing it almost 35 years, if you use a tumbler to clean your brass, and get a lot of dust, I give the media a good squirt of charcoal grill lighter fluid, you wont believe the difference, and it also helps to cut ant grease that might be on the brass,

I use 50-50 mineral spirits and NuFinish car wax

Back when I used to dry tumble I used dryer sheets to keep the dust down.
