[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1883135, member: 38048"] Doesn't matter if you let it cool down with air or drop it in water you will achieve the same hardness. Brass doesn't quench harden like steel. If brass isn't annealed correctly it isn't going to help you. In fact if you do it inconsistent it will hurt your accuracy. I like my brass for target shooting slightly over annealed and on hunting ammo I only anneal if it needs fire formed or necked up or down. A friend of mine does real good at 1000 yard matches and he anneals his necks dead soft. He keeps them in the flame till they glow orange. That's too far in my opinion but works great for him.
