[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1820687, member: 29632"] I'd say not bad for a bucket full of trash brass, 4 different head stamps in there. I'm not quite ready to run my good brass yet, but I have to say I think there is merit in this method. While I definitely think Mikecr is correct when he said the thermal coupling between the sand and the brass isn't that great, it appears it might possibly be good enough to work. It's not going to uniformly heat the case perfectly as a liquid would, but all the guys using the torch and socket method for years seem to indicate perfection is not a necessity. I guess the true test would be how well the cases hold up over time. [/QUOTE]
