[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1883171, member: 38048"] Anyone who anneals by holding the brass in there fingers is foolish. Yes you can get a 300wbymag annealed in your fingers but try a 6br or 222. Way to inconsistent. For a basic way to start use a deep well socket that sticks up to just under the shoulder. This only works on certain length brass. But if you spin it in a drill and put it in the flame spinning you will see the flame wrap around the neck. When you just see a little bit of orange flame on the whispey tips of the flame take it out. The problem is consistently getting the right temp. You really should get a machine that has a timer that you can set. And puts the brass in the flame the same spot each time. To do them by hand is just really hard to do and get consistent results. And consistent is what we're trying to achieve. There are several machines that use has torches that work good and you can get one for around 350 bucks. The amp is probably the best but that's alot of coin. Get 4 buddies together and get the amp. Shep [/QUOTE]
