[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 436711, member: 4191"] Based on use of the welder's crayons, I've identified a residence time of about 5 1/2 seconds of rotation in my 3/4" long propane torch flame. I'll have to check out your MidwayUSA link and see how expensive their 2 oz bottles are. That liquid painted on the casings has always seemed to be the better way of identifying when the case neck/shoulder has reached the proper annealing temperature - from everything I've read and heard. I'm in the ball park with my 5 1/2 seconds, based on what I've read from others. However the length of time is, of course, dependent on the temperature of the flame. Ken Markle, founder and former owner of K & M Services reloader's tools and products told me he had determined a residence time in the flame of 5 to 5 1/2 seconds to be about right, with the case held at the tip of a 3/4" hot blue flame from a standard propane torch. Which matched my own findings. [/QUOTE]
