Berry's,
"We do have a special spec that our lead has been formulated to and it does include some antimony.

I put one bullet in the oven for 40 minutes at 430F and quenched it. I just have to wait for it to maybe harden up and then I'll squeeze it with a pliers along with a normal one and see if I can tell a difference. I don't have a harness tester but maybe I can rig up something with a tack and weight under a certain time to compare them. It won't tell what hardness it is but it will tell me if the quenched one is harder than the factory one.
So far the plating looks just fine and in tact but has changed color to a brass color instead of the more orange copper color.
Use a ball bearing or BB instead of a pointed tack, then compare the diameter of the indentation.
I do this in my reloading press with the bullet on the ram, and hang a weight from the handle.
