I dont think they neccessarily have to be clamped. Looks like he does it do get maximum exposure of the lead surface. I would think maybe commercial operations have a special rack where they are automatically loaded with bullets then submersed into the electrolyte solution. If you have a vat large enough you could stack up quite a few. I'm not sure about maximum capacity of bullets where you might see the reaction diminished. If I remember my chemistry that shouldnt matter as long as you have the right balance of electrolytes, the proper current, and clean copper to produce ions.
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...
