The invention pertains to a method for reducing the leaching of lead from lead projectile surface. The method includes contacting the lead projectile surface with a lead stabilizing agent or a lead stabilizing agent in the presence of a lead mineral complexing agent. The lead stabilizing agents provides a means to stabilize lead on the bullet/shot surface and thus reduce lead leaching and contact to the environment. This method eliminates the need to remove or re-treat range soils and greatly reduces the environmental and health risks associated with the use of lead as projectiles in the open environment as well as at control trap ranges.
