[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1326419, member: 95733"] I watched that video very impressive to say the least, but considering Remington is annealing 100s of thousands if not well inexcess of multiple million of pieces of brass annually they or any other ammunition manufacturer has no choice but to flame anneal as flame anneal is the only economically viable method to anneal huge numbers of brass no other method can even approach it. I am going to try salt bath as its very accurate and consistent and because I already own a Fluke digital temp meter complete with a 800*c thermalcouple attachment and was given for free a temperature controlled LEE lead melting pot and I have access to free awesome PPE I can be set up to anneal an almost unlimited number of brass for under $70. And if I weren't being lazy I could cut that cost down to under $25 but I'm buying my she'll holders as the place I'm buying them from makes them out of SST/steel and they are a perfect fit to effectively seal off the top of the pot Lee lead melter. I agree the torch & battery drill method is by far the cheapest and easiest of all annealing methods, and I have absolutely no doubt what so ever the flame torch method works and believe those of you who claim with practice it's very accurate, I just prefer a method that removes as much of human element out of the process as possible and for that benefit I am willing to accept the slightly increased risk salt bath annealing has vs using a torch.
