[QUOTE="Huntz, post: 2149773, member: 110832"] Why do we anneal?Some say to stop the neck form splitting.I do it to get even neck tension.When I first started annealing I just did the stand the brass in a pan with water up to the point on the side where you want the annealing to stop,I heated the cases until I could see a light blue color change ,It seemed to work fine.Then I read an article about using a candle to neck anneal.I tried that and it also worked,but had the side effect of getting soot on the case that had to be removed.The candle method was to hold the case with your bare fingers with the neck in the flame while you rolled it back in forth between your thumb and fore finger.When the case got too hot to hold"A very short time" you were done.So I thought whats the difference if I just use a butane torch instead of a candle?So i tried it and it also works great.Being a cheap guy,thats the method I use and it works as fast as the annealing machines and costs a whole lot less.
