[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 153244, member: 12"] What most people who use the "heat it till it glows" method fail to mention is that it must be done in low light and all you are looking for is the slightest change of color. If not, you will heat it too much and the brass is useless as it will not have any tension and hold a bullet. Normally you will really not need to anneal unless wildcatting. However, if after extreme accuracy some guys will use machinest pin guages to accurately measure the neck tension on each piece of brass before and after sizing to control neck tension. BH [/QUOTE]
