OK, let me explain my situation. Because of the bullet shortage, I bought 500 Hi-Tek coated .38/357 RNFP bullets from a seller with questionable quality. When I got them and opened the bag, I noticed a really pungent odor. I tested them with acetone on a piece of paper towel, and all the coating came right off. I tested a few more by soaking in acetone for about a minute, and all the coating just dissolved off, except for one that still had about half the coating left. I think I will remove the coating from all the bullets by soaking them in a bucket of acetone. Do you guys think this will work?
Now to my second question. I have never coated or even lubed bullets before. I am at a crossroads as to what to do with them after I clean them. The people I've talked to say that Alox is pretty easy to use, but I'm considering just lubing them or getting some powder coat from Harbor Freight and trying my hand at that too.
What would be the easiest way for me to get these bullets back to work?
