[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1608745, member: 74902"] I don't dunk them in water after annealing. I just drop them on a cotton towel to cool, much like Canhunter above. Make sure you use a 100% cotton towel. If it has polyester or anything like that the hot neck will melt it a bit and stick to the neck... I do not even tumble or clean my brass anymore. I wipe them off, sometimes with a little alcohol. Clean the outside of the neck with 0000 steel wool. Then anneal them in the socket with a torch. let then cool then size them. I leave the carbon from the last firing in the neck. I get good bullet seating consistency and SD this way. [/QUOTE]
