[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1882135, member: 91783"] Your case's are made out of brass they have some other metals mixed in to make it have the hardness they want them to be with a base of copper . Get a look at a machinery hand book or go on line to see how to anneal non-ferris metal , copper brass aluminum ect. . with most brass you can soot it with an acetline torch or a candle then heat it until the soot burns off and quench in water after you get the feel of it you don't need to soot it . I was taught by an older guy to put my brass in a small cake pan with water up to near the shoulder, with the primer still in them, heat them and knock them over into the water . If you over heat them you will make them , what is called dead soft and easy to dent , before you quench them . [/QUOTE]
