The case is brass (sometimes steel or aluminum), the bullet is lead, sometimes coated but lead.


Right, I know about the case. I thought the primer had lead in it or something.



I was referring more to you saying not from the projectile. I was thinking if they are hiking up someplace I would think they are probably studying the effects of the lead projectiles that may be left behind.
