Actually a couple of questions.
I just got done casting a bunch of bullets. I plan to powder coat these bullets and size them. Is there a necessary time to allow the bullets to "rest" after the casting before they can be powder coated and sized. Is the reason for the "resting" stage to allow the bullets to harden a bit? I water quenched these bullets.
Is there a cheap easy way to test the bullets for hardness? These are wheel weights and again quenched. I know Lee makes a hardness tester for about 60 bucks but that's a bit steep for me.
thanks
