[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1362241, member: 11011"] Don , proper annealing takes time and temp . you can anneal at lower temps , BUT you must keep the heat on for a longer amount of time . the problem here is the longer time allows the heat to travel the case body softening the case head , this is no good . I try to get my brass up to temp , and out of the heat quickly , to avoid heat travel . I don't cool with water , I don't think this adds anything to the process except for getting wet brass . your example of 680*F for 1.7 seconds ; I'm guessing would accomplish little or nothing . you have lowered the temp , and shortened the dwell time in the heat .
