[QUOTE="Maol, post: 2739546, member: 98340"] While the AMP appears to be the cat's meow, and I admit I would be happy to have one, flame 'annealing' seems be giving the results I am looking for. Seems folks have been doing it for at least 70 years. “[C]ases are polished and then placed on a small block of wood or metal. The case is placed on the platform and a flame from a suitable torch is played over the neck as the block is turned. This continues until the brass has a slight color change, and then the flame is removed. The flame must be hot enough so that the neck is heated sufficiently fast enough to prevent the base from heating to a critical point.” - Earl Naramore “Principles and Practices of Loading Ammunition”: (1954) [/QUOTE]
