I've been meaning to try this for a while now. The Hi-Tek guys bake the coating and while they are still pretty warm they take the tray full of curing coating and then shake them. I've always baked a minimum of bullets to prevent too many of them from touching too much or they glue together once cured. Hmmm...
This is more than twice as many as I usually bake at a time. So while wearing my casting gloves I gave the tray a good shake until it looked like they were all moving freely and then set them back down to finish cooling. Also like Hi-Tek I run them through two shake and bakes. Before everyone rages about the time this takes... Realize that I shook up the bullets for half a minute, dumped them, baked for fifteen minutes, washed up and made a sandwich while I was waiting, shook the tray, let them set in front of the fan for a few minutes while I picked up the garage a little, tumbled in PC and repeated. Not another sandwich though, I went and started typing this post. And then I did a second batch the same way. Now from a short batch of 320 (strange it was exactly that much) I have them ready to load after an actual maybe ten minutes on hand. Not counting running them through the sizing die of course.
All sized up and ready for the LNL AP to get running again.
