First shot at annealing.

If you not getting the neck, shoulder to a red state. You are doing something wrong. Get Tempilaq pen temp rate of 650 drg's ratted. You can get them a Amazon.

That full state of red color means yer burning out at least some amount of the zinc and changing the overall metallurgy.
 
I found the test done by Amp quite interesting, as far as burning off Zinc in Brass.


" 3. Dezincification of brass can occur because of chemical attack, but heating brass, even to high annealing temperatures cannot cause dezincification unless chemicals are present. The zinc content of the alloy cannot burn or melt out up until boiling point (Appendix 1 - 1.6)."

Food for thought, as it was Lab testing and not personal opinion. Read it and arrive at your own conclusion.
