Hi again Marcus,

I noticed a few other posts on annealing.

Do NOT get the case head or anywhere near it hot because the brass will lose its strength where it is needed for a gas seal.

I stand the cases in a tray of water with just the neck & 1/4 inch below the shoulder sticking out.

In a low light room, hit the neck with a small blow torch until the neck faintly glows just down to the start of the shoulder then tip the case over into the water. You may need to play the torch around a bit to evenly chase the heat down if using a small burner.

Quenching anneals the brass and reduces the time it is heated.

Cheers,

Rob
