Removing Lee Alox

[coyoteshooter]

I have a big pile of sized and lubed 45 230gr cast bullets. I lubed them with the Lee Alox. I have been playing with powder coating and would like to some how remove the alox so i can coat them.

Anyone had any luck getting this crap off?

Thanks

even if you go to a lot of work to remove alox .....the bullets will will will not take a decent powder coat.....start fresh just shoot the ones you have cast/rinse in acitone /powdercoat good luck

Youre going to make me go through the process just to prove you wrong, arent you

This is an easy one, load the Alex coated bullets, shoot them into a convenient plastic barrel filled with wet sand the. Reclaim the lead from the sand, melt down, recast as bullet of choice then coat with powder coat. Then you get to shoot more and still get to pc you bullets, easy!

LEE continues to push their alox lube as an alternative to the common lubrisizer setup. As most casters know; lubrisizers are one-at-a-time machines that size & lube cast bullets. Considerable effort is involved: bullet placement. Then sizing + lubing + then cataloguing.
Alox never dries & even reducing the solution to make it thinner & purportedly more manageable never beats a super hard powder coat baked on shell.
Alox doesn’t protect the base from lead vapourization upon firing and even the thinnest and most manageable coating offers little bullet lubrication. At the very least lubrisizers are less effort compared to twice lubed alox coated bullets.

Powder coating creams them all!

shoot them first, comes off easy that way.

Put in a gasoline filled container on a Sunday and remove the next Sunday then leave outside to air out till the Sunday after that
