Most lead exposure among gun people is caused by breathing lead vapor and fumes from primers on badly ventilated indoor ranges.

Lead vapor is created when the flame of the main charge contacts the rear surface of the bullet.

Some jacketed bullets are made with copper jacket material covering this rear surface, thus minimizing lead exposure.
