[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3958006, member: 41653"] Deprimed and cleaned the primer pockets of the 65 pieces of 7.62x54R fired at the match Saturday. Brushed the necks, then annealed the bunch. Now to neck-size and prime, then it's ready to load. [ATTACH type="full"]343997[/ATTACH] I set the torch in a rifle rest - tied in, because I learned after the second round of chasing a flaming torch across a dark garage. Aim the flame at the junction of the neck and shoulder. In the foreground can be seen my phone, with a metronome app opened. 80 BPM, leave (this) brass in the flame for 7 beats. Just before it starts glowing. Pull it out of the socket with my (gloved) left hand. Behind the drill is the (empty) container for the brass to be annealed. Grab one with my right hand, stick it in the socket. Rotate the drill into the flame. Repeat. It goes very quickly, 10+ per minute. Really, it takes longer to set everything up than it does to do the actual work. That being said, an Ugly Annealer - or something like it - is in my near future. [/QUOTE]
