I also spent some time thinking about your comment on exploding ammunition. When a round explodes outside of a chamber the casing is still being surrounded on ~70% of its area by the bolt, chamber, and frame. The explosion will rupture the casing where it is not touching something. The path of least resistance. In the case of a bullet in a fire, the two pieces will separate.

Seriously,
I don't need to prove anything to you. Nor do I have to give you any credentials.
But chances are excellent I know a heck of a lot more about lead poisoning than you do. As well as safety in general.
I will say that throwing it in a lake isn't the best idea, but for a few rounds, the lead will be negligable, especially considering the amount of lead fishing weights that are probably already down there.
As to the path of least resistance, the speed of the deflagrating powder, combined with the friction of the bullet in the case, the thickness of the brass, etc. will determine
exactly what happens.
And no, I've never thrown a .22 in a fire; I'm smarter than that.
But I think you need to find better ways to express you opinion than by insulting other board members or your time on TFP will be short indeed.
