[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 3096556, member: 117869"] Annealing is a function of TEMP and TIME. At 750 degrees Fahrenheit, it will take 1 hour for cartridge brass to properly anneal. That length of time will allow the heat to propagate down the cartridge and you will anneal not only the neck but the entire cartridge (bad).You need a higher temp for a shorter time, think seconds. Brass begins to glow red at about 1100 degrees Fahrenheit and at that tempt only takes 2-3 seconds to properly anneal. I would forgo the Tempilaq and watch for the glow in a dark room. [/QUOTE]
