Title: Re: Case neck annealing

Thanks, Parashooter.
I did fairly well confirm that new brass is fairly well annealed so my first annealing was a waste of time. There is so much contradictory info on the web. Annealing and work hardening of cartridge brass seems to be worse since the big boys (Rem Win, Fed and etc.) do not share info. 303Se stainless look it up in a manufacturers hand book. Cartridge brass you can find so many answers that are 180 degrees off. Looks like graphite maybe a better lube than the RCBS lanolin I was using. I will try it out if the local hardware store has it.
Here are some of the things that I found that sounded sorta reasonable, No guarantees because the info comes from the WEB.
