[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 1449383, member: 6705"] Yes, I saw the concept several years ago and decided to give it a try. I found a cheap pot and thermometer on ebay. Stump remover (potasium nitrate) on Amazon. Some scap sheet metal and screws in my workshop. The first time I melted the salt it kind of made a mess. It didn't want to melt evenly and foamed up a bit. I also fiddled with it too much. I should have only filled it half way and let it melt completely, then add a little at a time until full. I have two sets of holes in mine. One for small diameter cases, and another for standard and magnum. It takes a little bit to work out the timing. Once you do, that's how you control the amount of annealing. [/QUOTE]
