[QUOTE="Guest, post: 153223"] There is or was a thread on this subject earlier. The method I have used is the pan of water,brass covered half way up to protect the base,heat to a dull orange or red and knock over to quench. Brass annealing is the opposite of the process used for steel. Annealing brass changes the grain structure from course to fine.Hornaday makes a set of "potchucks" for this purpose that make the whole job easier,spin them in a drill and drop in the water.Some radical case forming may require several anealings to get results with out ruining a lot of brass.
