[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1812509, member: 56839"] I use sand for annealing It’s very simple quick and cheap Use play sand or sand for concrete they are both clean. I use a lee pot and start setting on 9 Let it brew till the sand impurities burn off (5-10 minutes) once that impurities burn off there will be no smoke, only need to do this once till you change sand Put setting between 8 and max depending on your pot I use Infrared thermometer and stir sand a little to get accurate reading I get it to 800 to 850 degrees Push your brass in as deep as the area you want annealed @ 5 to 10 seconds, then dump in a bucket or pot; I push 3 or 4 at a time and using both hands I can do a batch of 100 in a very short time Primers should be removed and size after annealing but trim before. If you feel the brass getting hot you are doing it too long You will recognize that color change in the neck confirming you have in fact annealed the brass It’s not corrosive like salt and there is no open flame Only way I will ever anneal [/QUOTE]
