When I first learned to cast bullets, a friend taught me to quench bullets in water to harden them. I did this for several years before another friend told me that tempering your bullets is a temporary condition and your bullets will return to their natural hardness in a week or so, maybe sooner.
I'm curious if your hotter lead and larger bullets will also return to their original size.
