Annealing Brass

[aliceinchains]

What is the proper way to anneal the mouth and neck area of rifle brass.


I would like to hear your method.

I have a square metal pan I pour some water in the pan about 1/2 inch set up the cases on one end.Turn out the lights,heat the cases until they just turn color and then knock them over in the water with a pencil or wooden dowel.

Turn out the lights ,that is the improved method. You be a damn man . Thank you very much.

No problem the torch gives off enough light to see what you are doing.My uncle showed me that trick.

I use a lead melting pot, run the temps on up, and after f.l. resizing, trimming, etc., I take each case, hold it at the case head, and dip it in the molten lead to the point where I want the anneal, and then when my fingers start to get uncomfortable, I move, quickly, to drop the case in a bucket of water, located well below the bench.

The first couple of times you do this you are likely to burn your finger or thumb tips a little bit. I stress: when it starts to get uncomfortable, MOVE! to the water quench.

When stubbicatt says MOVE! he means MMMOOOOOOOOVVVEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It goes from warm to hot a lot faster than most people can react.

I just wondering.
Do "they" have a need to anneal brass?
I didn't realize England's subjects were allowed to have ammo, must less reload and shoot it.
Hmmm.......

Doubtful they can own any combustibles aside from Gin that they get from their drunken whore mothers.
