[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2718253, member: 1521"] Lapua FULL anneals to form the cases. That's why it looks like that. If you full anneal your brass, you would then have to work harden it (as Lapua did), or it will be too soft. A perfect process anneal (which is not full anneal), barely changes color of cases. That would be getting brass to ~850degF for ~5seconds or more. Dip annealing does it perfectly, as set to 850degF, and heating inside and out at once. A torch is far higher, and raises the brass surface to higher temps before the thickness reaches desired. Hence all the coloring. Given this, it's not viable to go by coloring. [/QUOTE]
