[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1923940, member: 2736"] 600 o f is my bottom line and depending on the case alloy and the thickness it may go to 650 o and that is my goal. I have tried 7 to 750 and found them over annealed. another reason I water quench is to end the process and prevent the case from heat soaking a little longer at above 450 degrees, If I go to all of the trouble to get the case necks just right, I don't want small differences is the hardness from this dwell time. It may not be a dead soft anneal, but that is not what I want anyway. I want a case that does have some grip strength, sizes well and is soft enough not to crack or split. Also the case body is untouched and will last for many firings. One of the benefits I have found with a consistent grip strength is concentricity when loading, if it is to soft, it will be easy to seat the bullet off center.(Not concentric). Just my way of annealing. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
