For those who bulk bake, what is your favorite method?
Powder type?
Temp?
Time?
Hot dump, warm dump, water dump?
I recently tried baking a 4-5 boolit deep pile coated with HF Red at 275F for 20 minutes on a mesh tray. I allowed them to cool, as baked, to the point I could easily handle them with bare hands, before knocking them out of the basket and breaking them up. I got my best looking boolits to date that broke apart easily, but I am afraid they are under baked as I can scratch the coating off with a finger nail. Surprisingly, they do smash pretty well. The last thing I want is powder baked on my bores, so I was planning on rebaking them at hotter and hotter temps until they hardened up, yet dont stick to each other too badly. I know HF powder is the bottom of the barrel, and I'm willing to try any reasonably priced powder recommended, but I refuse to stand up bulk pistol plinking boolits one by one batch after batch in a toaster oven.
