I'm planning on casting my own in the near future and had a question about melting down some cast bullets that I have. These bullets do not feed properly (they're 115 grn flat point). Since I can't use them I figure I could just use them to cast new bullets. These have a blue lubricant on them and the question is do I need to scrape the lube off before melting them down? Or will all of the lube collect together in the furnace where I can scoop it out.

Thanks

Chris
