[QUOTE="bassin93, post: 403334, member: 15314"] I was always under the impression that you need to anneal as to relieve work hardened brass to get the same neck tension with each case. Mikecr are you saying that this is not true? I am pretty sure most on the BPCR and Shiloh Sharps sites would disagree with that one. I have shot with and visited with quite a few national champion BPCR Sillohette shooters and concensis is pretty much the same. Anneal after three firings so you get equal neck tension. Most seem to use the torch method as i do, and do so to a [B][U]dull[/U] [/B]red so to soften the case mouths. I don't understand why you say the method you use is any more accurate then the torch method, in both methods the timing is controlled by counting in your head and can vary. In the torch method I use a deep socket that fits the caseing and stuff a piece of paper towel in the bottom of it so the case stick out slightly longer then the length i want annealed, I then hold the case at the tip of the blue flame as I spin it in a cordless drill and count to six with my thinner walled straight cases and seven for my bottle necks. They have just a slight dull red color. Because of the protection of the socket, the bottom of the casing does not get too hot to affect the intgrity of the brass. I am not trying to pick a fight and apoligize if thats the way this is comming off as. I guess I just don't see any difference as to the metod of one being better (more accurate) then the other.
