[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1581691, member: 95733"] Just to add I also have a Salt bath annealing kit from Ballistic creations and yes there are some dangers you need to be aware of and take precautions for and I accept them, but so far it's worked very well for me in I've annealed the same 300wsm and 35rem brass 3x now or after every 3rd firing. Been using the same 30 pieces each of 300wsm and 35rem as a test to insure no issues will arrise before I commit to doing it with all my brass. Will anneal the same brass 1 more time to have ten firings on each piece of brass if by then no issues have arrisen I will adjudge it safe. I anneal my brass at 900-910*/F for 4-5 seconds using a metronome app I downloaded for free as it allows me to precisely control my anneal time I use the temperature probe attachment on my Fluke meter to monitor and maintain very accurate and consistent temperature control of the molten salt. However on another sight a person who is extremely knowledgeable about annealing who displayed a knowledge of annealing I've never seen before or since suggested and uses quite small stainless steel beads used for sand blasting in place of salt in the same LEE lead melting pot I plan on buying and trying some to see if it works as it would be a viable alternative to liquid salt [/QUOTE]
