If you buy the lead balls from a black powder supplier, keep them always in a shot bag and wear light, soft leather gloves when shooting or handling the lead I think you'd be good to go. That's all I do, but I only use lead to hunt.

I guess I'm weird...I like to shoot mostly marbles at tin cans. They are big enough to feel right in the pouch, but don't cost as much as 1/2" steel. I'd really like to get a killer deal on the 1/2" steel, but I haven't got a tree in my yard that will grow money for fruit. It is easier for me to come up with $8.00 from time to time than to put together larger sums. Even if I could I would be looking at buying some slingshots from forum members.
