[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 845297, member: 17844"] It is a ridiculous notion to try and anneal a lead cored bullet it's stupid and if the bullet is heated to true annealing temps it could start to melt the core . The only bullet that could withstand this is a solid metal bullet like a Barnes X or a turned projectile . However it's just not worth doing even then as it could distort the bullet . If you are looking for a tougher bullet then go a bonded core bullet . The only real practical way to have an almost fully annealed jacket is to make your own core bonded bullet using the solder bonding process . Like the old Woodleigh weld core bullets. I think now all commercial bonded bullets wold be chemical bonding . [/QUOTE]
