[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 1827894, member: 111593"] Seedyn You don't paint the whole case. Just paint a single stripe from mid-neck,across the shoulder and about halfway down the case. When you immerse the case neck down into the salt bath, to the depth you want to anneal, watch the stripe of Tempilac. Once you reach the rated temp, the Tempilac turns from yellow to dark/clear everywhere it is immersed. Above the salt line the Tempilac stays yellow. Watch your time carefully. The Tempilac changes color instantly once you reach the target temp. At ~500°C salt temp a 30/06 size ackley imp (40° shoulder) case reaches 675 °F in 4 seconds! Once you establish your time, you don't need to use the Tempilac any more. Just monitor your immersion time very carefully for each case you anneal. When you reach your time, quickly remove your case and drop it in the water bath. Wildbill, With the salt bath (after removing primers), I don't see any difference in annealing standard or 40-° shoulders. With the primers out the molten salt travels up the inside and outside of the case simultaneously. Regardless of shoulder angle. I can't speak to use of flames. I would think the angle of the flame would be important? [/QUOTE]
