and im sure as you figured out on your own he is way wrong.

I figured once I know how long it took to get the brass hot to my fingers that I would then start using a different devise to hold the brass, keep everything else the same and save the BBQ for the grill. Wink

that would be nice, i did notice that for some reason not all cases heated up the same, of course that could have to do with my proximity to the flame too. i hope i dont have to do it by hand ever again i can tell you that.

Do you not anneal often or did you find a different way?
