[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 26332, member: 941"] As an additional test of the annealing time, I just took the same piece of brass that had not been fired (the one from the body that measured 84 or 86, I can't remember which was which, and annealed it. I counted 1000 1, 1000 2 and removed it from the flame. Left it air cool till I could hold it in my fingers and tested it. It rockwelled 35 and 33. pretty soft for 2 seconds, huh. And, it measures .030 in thickness. So it's about 2.5 times as thick as anyones case necks, 3 times thicker than mine. [/QUOTE]
