What a quick and easy way to remove bullet lube from some cast bullets? Lube is chunking off from getting loose during shipment, figure I'd clean them up and use them for my 1st try at pan lube.

Get an old cooking pot at a second hand store and boil some water in it, add boolits and the lube will melt off and float to the surface where you can skim it off after it cools. Relube and load.

You can put them in a brass sieve in a 5 gallon bucket and take them to the car wash. The hot water and pressure will blast them clean.

You can also put them in a pan of water and simmer them on the stove. The wax will float to the top. let them cool overnight, skim the wax off, pour the water off, let the boolits dry, re-lube them. Load and shoot.

Thanks both answers better than me using a heat gun to melt it off and wipe them clean, Btw they get a little warm, I only had a hundred to do, I like the boiling water idea easy to do at home.
Thanks again
