[QUOTE="ButterBean, post: 1952714, member: 41385"] I agree the shell holder acts as heat sink but its still warm and he goes rite to work, as I've said before , I annealed by hand for a long time, Is it the best way ? absolutely not , Will it work? Absolutely, When i first started doing it by hand I got all the stuff I thought I needed 700 and 400 degree Tempilaq ( 700 for the neck and 400 for the body) and came to the formula of 6 seconds twisting it in the flame by hand, the case head was just getting warm, Tempilaq in the neck was clear and clear half way down the body so most of the heat never got past there, now i can judge by the flame if it starts to turn a different color its been in too long, In my experience 6 to 7 seconds at the tip of the cone will do it, just being consistent and not over doing it is the most important thing [/QUOTE]
