The trouble with casting is the very real danger of lead poisoning. You MUST cast in a very well ventilated area. Certainly not inside your house! Those fumes will get you an increase blood lead level.
Running a fan to direct the fumes away from you could help as well as doing it outside or in your garage with the door open.
It's been the reason I quit casting sinkers years ago. Now, I am thinking of casting for bullets now. But if I do, I will be very careful about safety issues like ventilation.
I killed enough brain cells with booze when I was younger and can't afford to loose much more!
