[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 867040, member: 4899"] Heat treating has a limited effect, the hardness will wear off over time. From what I read and heard the hardness starts to fade in as little as a couple months. I usually load in bulk so I don't mess with the water trick as some of my bullets won't be used for months. But if you shoot them up pretty quick it will let you stretch you monotype a little farther. There's a thread on this on the CBA website recently. You might do a search on it and see what comes up. Another really good resource is the castboolits guys website. I'll find the link and post it for you. Both site have an enourmous amount of information on them. I tend to spend more time on the CBA site. An old author/writer from the rifleman magazine frequently post there, Ed Harris, and I always enjoyed his writing. [/QUOTE]
