[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2716662, member: 109994"] The most common method I've seen referenced that is nearly fool proof is having the room completely dark or nearly so. Set it so it heats until the neck and shoulder just barely start to glow. Then it's also common to put tempilaq on the case body to ensure you're not getting the case too hot too far down. When I used a single torch, I think it was about a 6 second heat time to get there for a 30-06 case. I abandoned that because I didn't have a good fixture to keep the distance from flame and rotation speed consistent. I'd scotch brite a few "bad" ones and a few "good" ones, then turn the lights out and see if there is a difference in how long they glow or how bright they glow with the time setting you have.
