[QUOTE="Saskquatch6, post: 2146440, member: 58704"] I just started salt bath annealing a couple of months ago and find it to be quick, easy, effective, relatively inexpensive, and no more dangerous than many of the other activities involved in reloading process. Would certainly recommend SBA - but if you'll be annealing enough to justify it, one of the higher cost systems may be worth it to you. In terms of process, I deprime, brush necks (to remove loose debris which could contaminate salt, then SB anneal (before sizing etc) as annealing improves the consistency of shoulder bump and neck tension. I'd probably just dunk hot cases into a separate bucket first to rinse any residual salt then transfer to wet tumbler to prevent salt contamination in tumbler. Then continue with rest of your usual case prep process. [/QUOTE]
