[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2147242, member: 29241"] Please bear with me as I have posted this before. I am not saying I am right and you guys are wrong. I will be the first to apologize if I find out I am wrong. However, I have tried many different ways to anneal and for me, there is one method that works the best.

When quenched the brass stays in soft state. It is the opposite of steel as when steel molecules are moving, quenching hardens and stays in that state. I have tested brass elasticity in all stages of annealing and unless it is brought to orange the button will screech and resist as it is sizing neck, indicating little elasticity and still work hardened.
