[QUOTE="Bushrat 1950, post: 1202659, member: 84780"] I read this thread today before going out to anneal some old 22-250 brass. I am lucky to have been a bullet caster for many years. I now have a PID that controls my heat within a few degrees. I choose 725 degrees, before dipping the necks into the lead I dipped them in powdered mica. This keeps the lead from sticking, it pays to leave your brass dirty. Just try to get lead to stick to dirty brass. I could hold the necks in the lead at 725 for 8 seconds with my bare right hand. Upon removing the brass I tap it several time on the side of the pot to get loose lead to fall off. I then wiped off the necks with a piece of town in my left hand. I let the tempature probe cool down, and inserted it back in the lead and it verified the temp made it to 725 degrees in 8 seconds. It not a complex process and it is quite fast. You can control the temp,the depth of the lead,and the time in the lead. Who says you can't have it all. [/QUOTE]
