Protoolman,
Been there, done that. However, if that is what works for you, then keep it up. I can't help but wonder though how you can possibly measure the consistency of bullet hardness with a SAECO tester, as its maximum hardness level falls far below the hardness we achieve with our methods. Apparently, your efforts are yielding less than optimum hardness. But I will have to agree with you regarding the practices of commercial bullet casters, they generally produce something far less than optimum, generally providing pitted bullets or good looking bullets with far too much antimony, leading of course to brittleness. However any notion that dropping bullets directly into water involves too many variables to be superior is flawed, unless of course one is on the fringe.
