That is a good idea for water quenching, but I quit water quenching years ago, I find it easier just to use good alloy.
I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
Do you trust your casting thermometer?
A few musings.
Like ioon44, I don't water quench. But if you do thats a great idea! I have always kept my eyes open for a stainless container with a basket like mechanics used for cleaning carburetors. I just think that filled with a degreaser it would be good for getting the lube off of cartridge cases.
first, this is a great idea for those who WQ, no doubt about it
I stopped doing this wen't I went to powder coating because when you 'cook' the PC the WQ advantage goes away.

sounds like a great idea to me.
Use two nesting 5gal plastic buckets. Drill holes in the bottom of the one on top. Accomplishes the same thing.
