[QUOTE="Calamity Jake, post: 2267775, member: 12219"] Quench or no-quench depends on a lot of facters, like caliber, volicity desired, boolit fit to the guns throat. I've been casting for over 25 years and have never water quenched a boolit straight from the mold. I do oven heat treat some 22 cal. for my AR and some 30's for my M1, everything else is a mixture of alloys for given cal. All my hand gun boolits are cast in a mix of 50/50 WW/lead(BHN 11) with the execption of 9MM which is cast in a mix of 75/25 WW/Lino(BHN 15) The WW/Lino mix is also used for the above 22 and 30 cal oven heat treat(BHN 22).
