[QUOTE="Rem700addict, post: 1104027, member: 42574"] I really enjoyed this article and it had a great deal of info for a newbie such as myself. However i'm a little confused as to the term "annealing" for rifle brass. I've taken a class in metallurgy and wonder why it we call it case annealing, as you stated the purpose of annealing is to not harden the neck area however it is also stated that after you finish heating the case you drop it in water. Is that not actually "hardening"? I'm by no means debating, just curious, as I thought annealing would be a slow cool down of the area heated, thus leading to a softer composition of the metal. Thanks again for the great read. [/QUOTE]
