Safety issues with oven treating?
Probably a dumb question - but I will be attempting to heat-treat cast bullets in the oven for the first time. Previously, in a dedicated, rimmed cookie sheet, I merely dried them off at 150F for 30-45 minutes. I cannot see why there'd be a food-safety issue with heating them to 420F, again, in a dedicated tray, but then that flies in the face of every food-safety alarm I can imagine.
Thoughts? Just a dumb idea to use any food-purposed oven?

Lead will kill you, but only in bullet form, at high speed.
I use oven to heat treat. I started casting with a lead pot on the kitchen stove . Perfect place with a fan vent over head.
Till 1 day a drop of hot lead made a hole in the new counter top. Wife not happy.
This is about 50 years ago.
Hole still there, wife too. . Smaller then a dime.
