[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2283209, member: 116439"] Bean Excellent information. Thanks for posting!!! I know one thing that I hear often when brass is annealed. People tend to go by the color change on the case. It is not correct. Color change is effected by any contamination/oxidization on the brass itself. I can take brass that was cleaned well over a year or two and the color when annealed is very distinctive (oxidization has taken place over time). Then I can take brass that I just got done running through my wet SS media tumbler , dry them and anneal. There is little color change compared to brass that has oxidized. I was always skeptical of Salt annealing. Having a Safety/Environmental Health degree and knowing the Periodic chart 11/NA "SALT" can be very dangerous when heated and can burn & could cause an explosion. [/QUOTE]
