I prefer my bullets PCed, to the extent that I have converted all my lubed bullets to PC. It was no trouble for me, I just boil them for 10-15 minutes and then let the water cool. skim the solidified lube off the top and do it again. When the bullets seem clean, I wash them in mineral spirits and they then take powder just like fresh cast. All of these steps seem time consuming, but I just do them while in the shop doing other things.
