[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3325202, member: 41653"] I recently sold a Mosin 91/30, and had some brass already fire-formed to that (oversize) chamber. x54r brass is not something one finds laying around every day, at least the reloadable brass, so I need to use this brass in another rifle. I don't want to just full-length resize, as I aim to get maximum life from this brass (I'm frugal....okay, cheap). To that end, I set up my high-tech annealing station. Don't tell me about how I'm ruining the brass unless I use a commercial setup costing hundreds of dollars. I've annealed this way many times. [ATTACH=full]153532[/ATTACH] The cheap front rest allows me to adjust the height of the torch to match the level of the cartridge case. After a few episodes in which the (lit) torch fell off the rest and table, I secure it in place with a bit of cord. Nothing like chasing a lit torch across the kitchen floor, in the dark.... Works a treat. I have some brass that I've fired 9 times without full-length resizing, and that brass was used when I got it. After the brass is fired in a rifle, it stays with that particular rifle. That's something of a trick, now that I have 3 Mosins, but I make it work. This brass will get resized, length checked, and then become a batch for one of the Finns. [/QUOTE]
