[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2845569, member: 15054"] I used to do the cases stood up in a pan of water anneal and tip over.. then I went to dropping them into a bucket of water. I then read much information and found you do not need water.. I just began annealing by holding the cases in my finger tips and turning them in the flame. If it gets too hot to hold you went too long. I can anneal a .308 to the correct temp Using 750f Tempilaq drop it onto the formica counter top and pick it up quickly with my fingers at the case head and it is not hot yet, Will be in 1.5 more seconds though.. but it cools quite quickly in the air. I hate waiting for my cases to dry..In fact i have pulled the cases from the Pin Tumbler and shook the water from cases and towel dried the outsides off and started annealing with the case being a little wet inside. I do mine with lights on and spin them..Cases are very shiny and clean and this aids in seeing changes in brass color. Soon as it hits the flame ,,one thousand 1, one thousand 2, one thousand 3, etc. etc. I used to count like that staring at the second hand of the clock when i was young and had to sit in the corner. I got really good and could time a minute within a couple seconds. Worked for timing yourself under water holding your breath..Count to yourself though..Not outloud!! I could stay under for 2.5 minutes when i spent lot's of time in the water during summer days. Had friends time it...Swam under water and got a white farm duck by the feet once in the old pond behind plaza towers. That duck did not like people much..Really did not like me. That was around 1977 [/QUOTE]
