[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 960033, member: 39764"] I'm in the metals business by profession and the only thing that I know of that aqe hardens is wine and moonshine. The only way cartridge brass 'hardens' is by working. What occurs is the crystaline structure changes. Annealing re-aligns the grain structure. It cannot change physical properties (work harden without being worked. That is an impossibility. Not to be argumetative, but you had to physically alter the grain structure of the brass somehow. Let me ask you however, did you tumble the brass after annealing for a protracted amount of time and how did you 'anneal the brass'. Annealing brass and actually making it ductile without making it too ductile is an exercise in controlled temperature for a controlled duration. Not enough heat for the correct amount of time may give the physical appearance of an 'annealed' case when, in fact, it's not, conversely, too much heat for a long duration renders the brass too ductile and worthless for reloading. I'm projecting that you assume it's annealed, when, in fact it's not. [/QUOTE]
