[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1182555, member: 1521"] We desire a 'process anneal'(~750deg), and not a full anneal(~1200deg). There is time in recrystallization, but torches are well above 1200deg -and on one side of cases. With lead dip I apply 750deg simultaneously to all sides/area. Can't get it wrong temperature-wise and recrystallization is so far happening quicker than I dip. Also, I could dip all the way to webs if I wanted and the case head would not exceed 450deg, not even for 1sec. So again, it's hard to mess up brass with dipping, provided you keep lead from soldering to cases, and/or quench cooling lead to solid inside(hence the slow insertion). ~30sec of dip works for sure.
