[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1586535, member: 2736"] I started out much like everyone else, and had to learn the hard way. I used the pan with water up to the level that I didn't want the brass annealed. after heating them up with a torch, I tipped them over with a pencil to stop the process. The water assured that I didn't over anneal the areas not needed. This however did not prevent me from ruining the case rim/mouth by over heating them. The problem with many methods is the amount of heat and the time heated. Watching the color change of the case mouth is not an exact science and is the downfall of many systems that don't protect the case head and most of the body. So I decided on a method that the time could be set and very consistent to eliminate the human factor. this process can be adjusted with worn out cases, and then switched to the good cases after the dwell time and all other parameters are determined. There are many good systems out there but need a constant dwell time to realy work . some systems work well with the simple use of a metronome (A smart phone can be used for this if you are not a musician). I also recommend the water bath right after annealing to stop the process. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
