Because saves you arguing with people that they are not coated. I know if I showed up to the range with clear powder coated bullets. I'll probably end up leaving, giving the finger at people. Wouldn't heard the end of it.

Basically it goes like this, on cast bullets air cooled or quenched from the mold and how the curing process will anneal the cast lead bullets using an alloy that responds to water quenching or heat treating.
1. If you air cool your bullets when cast then PC them an allow them to air cool again the second time there is no change in the as cast BHN of the bullet.
2. If you air cool your bullets when cast then PC them and quench them right out of the toaster oven they will gain a hardness of about 75% over the as cast BHN.
3. If you quench your bullets out of the mold to begin with then PC them and allow them to air cool they will soften around 50% from the original first quenching BHN.
4. If you quench your bullets out of the mold to begin with then PC them and quench them right out of the toaster oven a second time you only loose around 15% hardness from the first quenching.

I got my "1lb" of glass clear from Emerald Coatings and just poured it into a jar for storage. Dare say I got a good bit more than I paid for.
Any Calgary area casters want to try some out. No cost if picked up. Have enough extra to get a couple of guys going I would say.
