[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 492684, member: 21375"] Annealing the process of applying heat to the brass to soften it. This is usually done with a torch. There are plenty of threads on this forum that discuss annealing, try a search. Note that you only want to anneal the neck and shoulder area of your brass since they are manufactured and treated to be harder at the base. Annealing the base can cause a case rupture. You can often times see the discoloration from annealing in the neck and shoulder area on new factory ammo. It only takes a few seconds with a torch to get the brass up to its annealing temperature and soften it. You can also look on You Tube for annealing processes. [/QUOTE]
