[QUOTE="FromSA, post: 936339, member: 78216"] Hallo everyone, I was hoping someone who knows more about metals (in particular brass) could help me out. Generally I use very little lube when sizing brass. Despite using so little I dip my brass in benzine/surgical alcohol every few loads to clean away the lube. Once I've cleaned off the lube I put the brass through a bit of hot water. Now here's my question - if I were to dry the brass in an oven at say 200 degrees celsius, would it have any negative effect on the brass? I normally pre-heat the oven and then leave the brass in for 4 minutes (sounds more like baking than reloading, doesn't it?). At present I'm using Lapua brass. Thanks [/QUOTE]
