[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1922612, member: 2736"] Part of any good reloading process is Annealing, unfortunately If done improperly It can ruin accuracy and worse, the cases. Many over anneal there brass when first starting out, I was guilty like most until I saw the effects of poorly annealed brass and ran Brinell hardness test of some of the cases. Here Is a good description of how it should be done regardless of the method you may use. The end results are what counts. A few tips I found useful that might help. I found that Temp sensitive paint required a Mach speed reaction and was hard to remove and relied on interpretation. so I tried a Laser temp gauge and found it very reliable. The color change/lack of, works good if you can be consistent or have a timed system. I finally built a timed system so I didn't have to rely on my reflexes and vision to get it right. While setting up the annealing machine, I recommend setting it fast and slowing it down until proper annealing time is reached. Under annealed cases can be reintroduced into the process for correct annealing. The over annealed cases will be destroyed and should be thrown away. Proper annealing will make the brass cases last for a long time and consistent annealing can/does improve accuracy/consistency. [MEDIA=youtube]fiIrLvAUh6o[/MEDIA] J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
