Hi. I found a small used convection oven for $15 bucks (!) I oven treated some Lee c312-155 2Rs at 445 degrees for an hour, then quenched 'em. I wanted to pan lube them, so I double boiled some SPG (it's what I have) and poured it around the boolits sitting in a room-temperature pan -- and it worked great. BUT...it would sure be convenient to insert additional boolits in the holes left behind in the solidified SPG "cake" in the pan -- and then simply let 'em sit in a 185 degree oven for a bit.
HOWEVER, I'm worried that that convenient way of lubing additional boolits will ruin, or otherwise alter the effects of the high-temp oven-hardening previously done to them (a couple of days ago.) Do I need to worry about exposing oven treated (ww + 1% Sn) boolits to lube-melting temperatures in the oven? 'Anyone else do this with heat treated bullets? Please advise.
Thanks!
