[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1153914, member: 64108"] I was under the impression it needs to be hotter than 650 "To properly [B]anneal brass[/B], the temperature needs to be at 650 degrees F. for several minutes--BUT this will transfer too-much heat to the lower case in that time. So we need more heat for a shorter time. We need to raise the neck temp to about 750 degrees F. only for a few seconds to [B]anneal[/B]." A red glow is about 1050F. Things happen very rapidly in that temp range There are a dozens of threads and hundreds of Youtube videos on annealing. Whatever you do make sure you do it with the same temperature and duration of flame or you could be making it worse as far as consistency of your brass is concerned.
