[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1923874, member: 2736"] I run at 600o f to stay away from over annealing. 700 to 750 C is on the edge and very easy to ruin brass. annealing temperature is a time/temperature process and depending how long the cases stay in the flame determines the level of anneal produced. With time, anything over 450o F will anneal but to much time and you will anneal most of the case body even at those low temps. I recommend polishing some old brass and depending on how you anneal, start fast/low and work up to find the right temp for yours. I also recommend the water quench to terminate the process instantly. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
