Yes, wash your hands after handling gun rounds (especially after firing them). Both the bullets and the primers are usually manufactured with lead. Also, don't use shooting ranges with inadequate ventilation.

Yes, I do wash my hands with lead-off. That's to prevent me from ingesting the lead. My question was about skin absorption, not whether or not the lead actually gets on my hands.
