Glass is mounted. Balanced without adding weight….
Lugs are so bad, it’ll decock on close sometimes, and it’s now gouging in a different portion of the lug.

Yes, I'm very sure.
I've heard all that about 650°F and 750°F and would do annealing with that too since those numbers are so often stated is various shooting forums. Then I came across actual research papers and found that what appears to have happened is like what happens in the telephone game and what was supposed to be Centigrade was stated as Fahrenheit.
That's right. . .650°C is at 1,200°F and that's were you see the brass glow red. It's not going to fry your brass as you might think as you're really only dealing with a second or so at that temperature (it's not like you get to that temperature instantly). Remember, the annealing process is a function of both temperature and time; very hot for short period less hot for much longer period.
Here's a pic that give you some idea of color to temperature for brass:
I'm attaching a couple pdf files about some studies that you can read through if you're so inclined. Or just take a quick look on page 24 of Ryan-Stevenson Dissertation file and page 5 of Recrystallization Behavior.
Note too there's been a couple test engineers on this website that have also tested this and had actual lab testing done for hardness of the brass cases. They found the same thing I found in my own testing.
PS: What inspired me to look more deeply into this issue was when someone posted their AMP machine annealing their brass and I saw how very red the case necks got, even for just a fraction of a second. It was obviously way hotter than what I was doing at 650°F (only 340°C).

What a load of horse shit.
No regulations covering this phenomenon. So they send officers to shut it down.
Pier fishing and kayak fishing are hard enough.
Leave them alone. They should keep the fish.
I assume theckayak fisherman kept his tuna. Good for him.
Peasants aren't allowed to find the loopholes i reckon.
