Ok so I put together quite the rig but want to try this annealing stuff out before I make the switch to $$ lapua brass. This is Win brass (.308). What I am doing now is rotating the torch so that the inner blue tip is right in the center of the shoulder between the neck and the side of the case. I started off counting to 6-7sec but seem to have better luck just watching for the case mouth to just turn a dull red in a mostly dark room.
By the looks of the two heat lines, it seems only the case mouth got to the correct temperature where-as the base of the neck and shoulder need more heat.....is that correct?
If so, can I just re-anneal these to the same glow/temp?
Edit: The case mouths are a little peened, left them a little too long in SS Media
Thanks,
