[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1990567, member: 24844"] Annealing has some interesting pitfalls. Watching for the brass to glow, I believe, sets one up for driving zinc out of the alloy which makes the brass rather soft. There are temperature indicating paints one can use. Advice: 1) Do a web search for annealing techniques. 2) Full length size and trim after annealling. That will result in more consistent neck tension. [/QUOTE]
