[QUOTE="Loner, post: 406905, member: 24560"] You're temps are working some. It would seem from the charts you posted and the general consensus of 750-800 for 6 seconds that we are looking for 100 or so in the HRH hardness scale. I spin mine and heat with a single torch so I am more concerned with over annealing. I use the spring back test. You can tell a lot as to how much you have softened the brass with a hand crank trimmer. Hardened cases will even squeak sometimes in my trimmer. Annealed I have to be careful on how much pressure so the cutter doesn't tear the brass as it bites in. [/QUOTE]
