[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1586819, member: 56094"] NEMTHunter, Yes I have tested it by using the socket in the drill method. Firstly I preheated the points of a pair of needle nose pliers to 250° F so that when I removed the case from the socket the pliers weren't acting as a heat sink. Then I annealed 2 cases each of .223, 22-250 and 257 Rob. The first case of each cartridge (the case on the left of each) I annealed to what I thought was correct. The second case I heated until the entire neck section was glowing cheery red. Once heated I quickly placed them on a Fluke temp probe and these are the results I obtained on the case bases, 223 normal 201° F 223 extreme 258° F 22-250 normal 238° F 22-250 extreme 291° F 257 Rob normal 241° F 257 Rob extreme 288° F Each temperature was the max recorded so yes they will burn your fingers but they are well below what I have read is needed to anneal brass.
