[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2964173, member: 423"] So you sized and hardened them after coating them? I would think it would be best to drop them from the mold (much hotter then) directly into water (much more hardening - to whatever extent that works), then size, then coat. Also, just FYI, lead does not hold the heat treating very long due to the weak crystal structure. So if you want long term hard lead you need to harden the alloy. [/QUOTE]
