[QUOTE="Snowman, post: 754773, member: 55952"] Rem 700 Annealing case necks can be done with very little equipment. All you need is a metal cake pan with sides approx 1 1/2 inches high, a small propane torch and an old screwdriver. Fill your pan with approx 1 inch of water. Stand your cases on their heads in neat rows. In a slightly darkened room direct the flame of your propane torch at the neck of the case. Do NOT heat the neck until it is cherry red. Heat it until you just see the neck starting to turn red ,remove the flame and tip the case into the water. Your case is now annealed. Dry your cases ,lube and resize as you normally would. Make sure the inside of the cases and primer pockets are dry before priming. There will be some discolouration on the neck area so you may want to run your cases through your polisher. If you heat the necks too hot they will be too soft to properly hold the bullets firmly. Simply load these cases and fire them single shot at targets. After you fire them and resize them again they will start to work harden and will be fine again. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
