[QUOTE="Loner, post: 406848, member: 24560"] I have no doubt that lead is a more consistent process. But temp. and time are clearly understood by all in the metals industry. 45 seconds at 650 is giving you very little annealing. And the time at 750 to 800 is 6 seconds to anneal case brass. A near pitch black room, when it first glows maroon it is done. An IR will not work on clean brass either, it has such a low emissivity that even most adjustable guns won't go low enough to measure it. Dirty brass (oxidized) they will measure, but oxidized brass is as hard as iron (literally) so who would want that in their chamber. [/QUOTE]
