[QUOTE="ronedog, post: 1353163, member: 21087"] Ok, heres a quick update. I annealed 3 pieces of brass, just the neck shoulders area. I dipped it in water and dried everything off, then let it cool 3 minutes or so. I then seated a bullet. This time the bullet was much more difficult to twist and took me a fair amount of finger pressure to twist the bullet..so perhaps the collet is doing its job and now its the brass? However, I was still able to twist the bullet by hand and push it in..albeit I pushed hard. Should I anneal the brass longer (I held it in the flame about 3-4 seconds or so. Or should I anneal 1 piece of brass 2 or 3 times then seat the bullet? Should I have waited longer for the brass to cool down (it was cool to my touch through, when I seated the bullet)? Or is this bullet tight enough to be safe to shoot? thx for the help. [/QUOTE]
