I just started using them a few months ago. After handling lead for hours on end, it's just easier to peal off the gloves. I also think exposure to lead dust is far less when you make your own. Your starting off with clean lead wire and if you lube your projectiles before shooting, there is very little buildup on the moderator etc compared to mass produced stuff. I guess you could wash and lube, but I don't think most would want to bother.I generally have not.
The lead is on my fingertips and palms, surely. I was my hands thoroughly immediately after any swaging session.
I’m sure there are plenty of surfaces in my garage and reloading bench that are contaminated.
