[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3958498, member: 41653"] Brass. I have never seen nickel 7.62x54r cases, but they may exist. Brass is different from ferrous metals - brass hardens with working, for one. For another, there is no metallurgical reason to quench brass in any liquid - the quench liquid does not change the properties of brass, as it does with ferrous metals. Some folks do indeed quench brass, but I prefer to air cool. Liquid cooling does nothing to brass, except get it wet. Then I have to wait for it to dry. Having said all that, there are as many ways to anneal cartridge brass as there are people doing it. Pick a method you like, and have at it ! [/QUOTE]
