[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3066098, member: 15054"] Yes for the line to disappear. I figured this out a couple years ago but doing research I found jewelry makers have been using the sharpie trick to anneal for quite some time. There is a lot more spring back to an annealed case and therefore it holds the bullet a bit tighter. You can anneal too much and this results in a case mouth that does not hold the bullet as tight. I did a test of low temp annealing and annealing until the sharpie or tempilaq said to stop and then went to the point until the case mouth and neck were very hot glowing red. After annealing those cases I seated bullets and measured seating forces. way over annealed cases took much less force to seat the bullet. [/QUOTE]
