[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1968033, member: 29241"] Not telling anyone this is the correct way to anneal but after a lot of questions with many different conflicting answers, I found a method that seemed to give me a satisfying result. There were many conflicting ideas on the best temperature to anneal. I tried templar and determined not a good method. Then I started experimenting by using the button method. The button on your sizing recapping pin. If you size a case,and as the button comes up through the neck, it will screech and be somewhat hard to pull button through the neck. I started with low temp anneal and button screeched. I increased temp and screech was minimal but there. Then I took the advice of an engineer of a major brass manufacturer. He said anneal in dark room and use torch and put heat on shoulder and let necks get cherry red and knock over in water. When going with this method no, screech and button pulls up smoothly. I anneal every other time and with big weatherby brass it has not burned up and ruined the brass. Have reloaded same brass 7 times and accuracy is increased when all the necks are soft and elastic. I did not eliminate screech until neck completely orange. Just my experience, but you will hear all kinds of different opinions but this works for me on a 338-378, 30-378, 338 ultra mag, 308 40x, 22-250 AI and others. [/QUOTE]
