[QUOTE="Gene, post: 435674, member: 7402"] No doubt work hardened brass must be annealed at some point in time to return it to a malleable state. Without a Brinell tester, it is impossible to know when to anneal or to determine whether each piece of brass is consistently improved. Until I see evidence that annealling with a $300 machine is state of the art, I will continue to do mine with MAPP gas, rotating the flame on each neck for 6-7 seconds and removing the flame before the color is bright red, dropping it dry into a pan. Only the necks need to be softened. [/QUOTE]
