[QUOTE="ButterBean, post: 1992863, member: 41385"] No offense intended but First off I'm not your Buddy, I'm here to help folks in any way that I can , So for you to tell the OP to trash his brass and buy a machine and that I am absolutely wrong when you really have no idea what your even doing other than your following instructions and have a really nice target and good numbers on your chrono is really impressive to say the least , I'm going to make this as short as possible, I have the good fortune to be in the position where I can test hardness levels and I have done extensive test's over the years and I can tell you that the torch and socket method done correctly which is a dark room heated to soft glow yields 67-72 HV, new brass averages 63-75 HV depending on what brand, I'm sure your high dollar machine is doing a fine job but is not necessary to provide the correct quality annealed brass, It's not that hard to do, It's folks like you that think you have to have all this high dollar equipment to shoot well and it's not the case at all, Seems to me your not here to help at all, I'll agree it's very nice to have but not necessary at all, I hope the OP did learn something from this, That he is doing a fine job and his brass will be just fine, No need to throw it away and start over, for what its worth you can do it by hand if you don't have a socket [/QUOTE]
