Sir Thomas, Rooster Red ? I have never tried to remove the lubes from greaser bullets for PC painting. I could imagine kerosine soak followed by Gumout spray of your choice then a hot water wash with Blue Dawn, and rinse, rinse, rinse. But what a bunch of trouble and expense ! Not to mention, what hardness are the various bullets ?
Since you want to PC paint them, I would not risk leaving traces of lubes, solvents or detergents after all the elbow grease of trying to get them squeaky clean. All that old lube will make excellent flux in the melting pot. Stir it all in and skim it all off the top. Check for hardness of the batch and use appropriately.
Shoot them as is or melt them.
