[QUOTE="Forester, post: 387219, member: 11102"] I have run about 500 through mine now and am as happy as I can be with the machine. Dwell time seems to depend a lot on how close your torches are to the case. For my 7-300WSM 4.5 seconds worked perfectly, for 204 Ruger 2.75 was right. I check temp using 650 degree tempilaq. I paint a stripe down the side of the setup case. When the tempilaq melts to just below the shoulder that's enough. With the 204Ruger I angled the torches up towards the neck to minimize heating down at the base. The necks annealed, and when they came off the machine I could hold the head in my hand still so I don't think the temps got too high lower on the case. Using this machine will really show how subjective looking for a color change can be. [/QUOTE]
