[QUOTE="Saracen, post: 1361242, member: 99044"] That's not correct regarding the quenching in water. Brass is one of the few metals that NEEDS to be heated cherry red, then IMMEDIATELY quenched in cold water. This is even written up to this effect in reloading manuals. In 18 years of regularly doing this to various calibres, especially 300 WM, I've never had a cracked case, only very long case life. You should only be heating the neck. [/QUOTE]
