[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2447520, member: 1521"] That's reasonable. I've been dip annealing for 47yrs, and have never needed to 'time' a dip. I just take my time, and given that my temperature is right, I really can't get it wrong. For a shoulder level dip, I probably take ~15sec, for a mid-body dip, ~20-30sec. Now if you wanted to full anneal, then temperatures and timings are all different. AMP is right about that, it's nothing new. But that has never been what I want with cartridge brass. If I was forming something like a 17BMG, then I would just pull out a torch and full anneal before hitting BMG cases with all that work. Just the same as Lapua heating their brass with torches while fully forming new cases from ingots. How many of us ever need that? [/QUOTE]
