Does lead dust leak off of lead shotgun pellets?

Lead in any form is a known health risk. It's that simple.
If I were reloading shotgun shells with lead pellets, I would handle it with a mask and gloves. And if I had children and/or pets I especially would not do it in the house. As for stands, I really think sand is good enough. If you feel you need more mass, there are safer alternatives to lead.

Thanks, Racetripper. For more mass, what would you mix with the sand? And how much of your stands would you fill? Eg, 3/4 way up? I may just take out the lead (in double plastic bags that are quite thick and sealed well) and replace them. I tried to put sand in originally. Bought Playsand and let it dry out for days in the California sun, but it still wouldn't go into the plastic bags, and there was some residual moisture in the sand so I didn't want to risk putting it bare into the speaker columns (which actually didn't seal completely tightly at the bottom; and this includes an extra pair of columns that Dynaudio sent me gratis)

Once I had them filled, sealed, and positioned, the columns only gave a nice solid thud when tapped. No ringing at all. I didn't mix anything with the sand. That seemed massive enough to me.
