[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3325220, member: 27673"] I competed in IHMSA handgun silhouette matches for over twenty years and shot, among a few others, three .223 parent case rounds......6mmTCU, 6.5mmTCU and 7mmTCU and I was told to anneal them to greatly improve case life. Auto case annealers were and still are pricey and I had a fella that had been shooting silhouettes for several years before I started tell me to just hold a propane torch in one hand and twirl the .223 case bare handed in the other and watch for a even light orange neck color. I ask him what if I annealed them too long and got them too soft and he said, "trust me boy you'll quickly drop the hot case before you over anneal them". :) I can't begin to count how many .223 cases I annealed sitting on a 5 gal. bucket in the garage and the cases seemed to last forever.
