Am I correct that as-cast hardness of wheel weight, linotype, monotype, etc. is essentially throughout the bullet?
Regarding bullets that are heat treated to enhance hardness, how deeply does enhanced hardness penetrate?
***
Regarding over-the-counter bullets, such as BearTooth, LBT, Leadhead, etc., what are depths of penetration of their heat treated bullets' hardness?
***
Were I to heat treat bullets I have cast to improve hardness, if hardness does not penetrate throughout the bullet, when is the time to size bullets to retain any hardness enhancement -- or to allow cast bullet to age-to-hardness?
