[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1587692, member: 74670"] It is my understanding, as I mentioned in the beginning of this thread, that when you over anneal what happens is some of the material in the neck and shoulder area is burned off resulting in the term "Dead Soft Brass". No amount of reworking will correct from that state as the material at the neck of the case is no longer whole, it is is missing some of the metallurgical metal make up of the brass case at neck and shoulder. Here is a YouTube video that demonstrates the burn off of material when we over anneal: [MEDIA=youtube]fiIrLvAUh6o[/MEDIA] I had another that talked more over annealing and the resultant "Dead Soft Brass" (Brass that is no longer useable) but can't find it at the moment. Depending on the system we use the dwell time in the flame will vary before it is over annealed. This person is using a dual flame commercial annealer so his dwell time is short. My expectation is the single flame, Drill and socket method will be longer but as several have suggested I will be using Tempilaq to figure dwell time in whatever method I used. [/QUOTE]
