[QUOTE="wboregon, post: 1460057, member: 102916"] Your gonna laugh at this then, I use a hand torch and spin the cases by hand slowly through the flame for a few count or so, normally I warm up with an old spent case of any said caliber see how long it takes for the flame to start changing colors, super scienc-y guesstimate the time that it took, then run my batch of good cases just short of that. This way I'm not burning the zink out of the good cases. Never had a problem and my hot load of 150gr ablr over 60.5 grains of IMR 7977 in 270win has yet to split a case neck after 8 firings. I anneal my 270 brass every firing, but I also FL resize them every time and set the barrel up tight off a sized case originally and not a gauge. never had any problem with case growth and I'm normally not even bumping the shoulder back .001. YMMV probably not the safest thing to do, but it was my first build with a cheap barrel from numrich. [/QUOTE]
