[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2913073, member: 116181"] Sounds reasonable to me. The process has given positive results for a lot of guys so there's nothing to write off about it. I think the entire argument goes back to AMP wants the neck at a certain hardness level, which induction and flame do but apparently salt bath does not. They supported the lack of neck hardness change with evidence. I don't have a reason to doubt them about that one point. Who's to say the neck hardness is as critical as they think it is? I chose induction for other reasons, not specifically neck hardness. Maybe I should try salt bath and see if anything changes for me, I do try to keep an open mind on these things. Not sure if I said it here or elsewhere, but salt bath might be ideal for fireforming cases to new shoulder dimensions specifically because it softens brass more in the shoulders than the neck, and that might change where brass in the case pulls from at it takes on it's new form.
