[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 424169, member: 4191"] My annealing time in a propane torch with the hot focused tip of the flame measuring 3/4" long, and focused at the junction of the neck and shoulder, is [B]5.5 seconds[/B]. This is with the case spinning in a cordless drill for even exposure to the flame. I do this with a large second hand clock in the background, to time each casing for relatively uniform annealing of each case, and to prevent over-cooking the brass. Then I plop the case into cold water to prevent the heat from moving down toward the case head. De-prime all cases before doing this annealing. [/QUOTE]
