[QUOTE="rsbhunter, post: 2395397, member: 5850"] I've watched all of his annealing videos, which is why I went with an induction heater....he explains how temp AND duration of applied heat determines reaching the "grain realignment" stage. If I remember correctly, he says that you need approximately 900°to 1000° for a few seconds to reach that stage...with a induction tool, I can get my necks and shoulders to dull red(and beyond) within 3-5 seconds depending on case size, brand, and coil/case fit. On top of that, I can usually handle the base of the case in a couple of seconds, indicating that the heat doesn't migrate to the case head/web area as much as it did when I was flame annealing. I know flame annealing works, I used it. But the induction is a much more precise and repeatable method....I'm retired, and watch my money closely, so I can't throw money at things that don't work....that why I shoot Savage Target rifles instead of custom Bat action, McMillan stock, Bix and Andy triggered rifles....but if I could, I would...there IS a reason they cost more....rsbhunter [/QUOTE]
