I received some .44 and .45 commercial cast bullets in a trade. The blue wax lube has melted off of them. They are still bagged in heat sealed bags. They are not a bullet I load.
Should I melt them as sweetener since they are a hard cast bullet or trade them as they are. They probably need to be boiled to get the lube off the noses and bases, then re-lubed.
I usually cast with range lead, so it would be easy to mix up a slighlty harder alloy and add a bit of tin if needed. I had been considering trying to mix up a harder alloy for some rifle bullets, anyway.
Just considering the possibilities. What would you do if you came in to 400 hardcast bullets that you wouldn't load for?
