I use Rooster Jacket which is essentially the same thing. I take a 1/2 gallon plastic milk container that has been rinsed out and pour two or three handfuls of cast bullets into and enough RJ. Doesn't take much. Put the cap on it and roll it around and around on its side, slowly. I then turn the jug end over end a couple of times, strain out the unused RJ and spread the bullets on a small piece of screen material to dry. This usually takes overnight. I use the screen so that the excess RJ can drip off onto my plastic work bend top. I scrape off the dried RJ that is on my workbench and put it back into the bottle.

I use this for 9mm and .45 acp without any significant leading and both calibers use Win 231/HP 38.

I hope this helps.
