[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2677924, member: 1521"] The advantage is that extra measures are not needed to keep salt from sticking to brass (as lead does). I have to dip cases in Mobil1 prior to dipping in lead. I don't want oil building in the bath so I let it drain off cases over night, leaving a barely visible oil sheen on case surface -ready to dip. After dipping, I drop the cases in a purple cleaner to remove the oil, and then tumble them. I doubt any of that would be needed for salt bath dipping, but I would still tumble afterwards. Other than that, with either you can set the bath temperature to 800-950degF , which works perfect to stress relieve cases. A 5-10sec dipping for each case. In & out. There is nothing special needed per cartridge or desired depth of annealing. Just hold the case head and dip to the point desired. Simple [/QUOTE]
