[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 404015, member: 1521"] Oh you could overheat a case,, you could screw it up,, you could get hurt.. I might out-smart you, but I can't out-dumb you! Seriously, all I'm suggesting is that it would be difficult to do -and not know it. If I dipped a little 223 case to mid-body for 30sec, I would be concerned about web temps. But why would I dip this case for so long? And surely ~15sec worth would be sufficient, given that the lead is heating a small area, inside and out. I don't know that 30sec would hurt without measuring it, But I'd go with 15sec on this case first. On the flip side, for a x-06 or WSM dipped shoulder deep only, I wouldn't worry at all about going longer. As far as doing much of the case body above the webs, I haven't had a problem going to mid body. But I don't know that there is any gain in it either. I wouldn't risk overheating a case to do it unless pre-forming a wildcat with some radical shaping. In this case I might want a first shot solid fireforming(as with my 6.5wssm). [/QUOTE]
