[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 668846, member: 1521"] We only quench in water to prevent further spread and time of heat (only if needed). This is to ensure we DON'T further affect our case hardness. It's important to keep the web area below 500f, or safety is compromised. So there are annealing procedures that call for standing a case in water, or quenching after heat. With machine annealing that's very controlled & predictable, quenching is not needed. I quench after a lead dip past the shoulders. [/QUOTE]
