[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1186332, member: 4191"] The "best and most reliable way", without regard to cost, is to buy one of the most expensive units manufactured and sold for this purpose. Like Lapua, or Precision Cartridge, use at their manufacturing factory. I annealed my very first cartridge case maybe 20 years ago, with whatever equipment I could muster up from my garage. 20-years later, within the past 2-3 months I annealed more than 3,000 cases with equipment that costs less than $30, since I already owned several propane torch kits. Part of that equipment consists of the consumable Coleman propane canisters. I consider myself a much more accomplished case neck/shoulder annealer now, producing more consistently annealed cases, than the first 200 cases I annealed with $30 worth of equipment. But I would never contend that my methods are the "best and most reliable" way. Hate to be the downer, but you will not uncover the answer to your question on this forum or any other forum, within a 3-sentence response. And no one else will be able to answer this question for you, unless you completely disregard the costs of the annealing equipment. If you're serious about annealing, you'll Google search the topic and read entire articles which have been written on the subject. Even then there aren't a lot of good articles. You'll find contradicting information from article to article. Obviously some authors know, and some don't understand, the science of annealing cartridge case necks/shoulders. After you better understand the theory, you'll have the basic understanding, and you'll be positioned to determine which is the best and most reliable way for you to anneal your own case necks.
