[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3586294, member: 27673"] When I competed hot and heavy in IHMSA handgun silhouette matches for over 25 yrs. I used three .223 based wildcat cartridges in my Thompson Center Contenders and annealed all of the cases to make them last longer......6mmTCU, 6.5mmTCU and 7mmTCU. There were / are a few expensive automatic annealing machines on the market but I had a long time shooter tell me in the beginning to just hold the brass between your thumb and forefinger and slowly rotate it in the flame of a propane torch being held in your other hand. I had read about annealing and I knew that it was possible to over anneal a case and make it too soft so I ask him....... Me; How will I know that I'm not over annealing the case ? Him; Trust me boy, your fingers will tell you when the case necks are annealed enough long before you've over annealed them. :) [/QUOTE]
