I read an article claiming that summertime temperatures would "anneal" water quenched cast lead alloy bullets. The annealing temperature was in the range of 90°F to 120° F, outside temp to "closed garage" temp.
Is this true? I have stored unsized / unlubed alloy bullets in my garage for some time now. I keep lubed / sized bullets indoors under my reloading bench. I have had bullet lube melt off 'garage' bullets into a total mess.
