[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 730655, member: 25383"] brass and aluminum are metals that tend to transfer heat rapidly verses steel or cast iron. Your only wanting to anneal the neck and maybe 25% or 30% of the shoulder. You must stop the transfer of the heat or risk weakening the main body of the case. Cold water (I prefer ice water) is kinda the norm for this in whatever operation when your annealing a small area. This is not my idea, but right from one of the smartest metalurgist the country has ever known gary [/QUOTE]
