so I did some basic testing today. did it inside instead of outside. at 450 the over thermometer was reading 550. Dropped it down to 350 and it read 450 until I opened the door to put the bullets in. Then it dropped. have it just above 350 now for a consistant 390-400.

Based on how cold it was the other day I'm guessing the oven was staying on to get hot enough and the direct heat melted the bullets.

Got 2 bullets in now with my ford light blue and some PBTB glass clear. The bullets were lubed and I cleaned them, but not well enough. Glass clear looks amazing. Blue is looking rough. Fun test run though,
