[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 145163, member: 3048"] I can never understand why instructions on case neck annealing tell you to tip the case over in the water after heating it to dull red, doing so you are effectively quenching the case. To anneal any copper based alloy correctly it should be allowed to cool at room temperature after heating. The water in the tin is primarily there as a heat barrier, preventing the conduction of heat to the case body. Ian. [/QUOTE]
