you will get many different answers on this problem. but,,,,what i have done when i had under cooked bullets was to recooked them as they was never cooked.
If they were mine, they'd go into the jar of sprue and rejects that lives under my workbench waiting for my next casting session.

I would just bake them if as they had not been baked at all , then you are sure they have the right time and temp for full cure .
Bake 30 to 50 or so load, shoot them then judge... any streaking or leading back in the pot the rest go

I am not crazy my mom had me tested
Theres a fine line between genius and crazy .. I'm that line
and depending on the day I might just step over that line !!!
I'd re-bake them ALL (doesn't take any more time/power) 400° 25 min
IF you are still worried about it you can test a few as smoke says but I think you will be fine.
Even the manufacturer recommends when you bake 2 coats, only bake the first coat until it flows cool-coat again then do a full bake.
PC needs to remain at a certain temperature for a certain time to fully cure.
thanks to all
I went ahead and did the complete time curing.
figured it wouldn't hurt--not like I was going to burn the roast or something

Ive had a breaker trip when I had too much on in the barn and partial cure and yes I just rebaked as I didn’t know at what point the thing tripped.
