What you describe as "full orange is visible" suggests you're seeing that in a full lighted room??? If so, then you're probably getting those cases too annealed. If it's a matter of the "full orange" being visible for a split second in a darkened room, then you're probably just fine.
A fully annealed (or "over annealed" if you prefer to think of it that way) brass will be so soft that there's no spring back. You can seat a projectile and the neck will not hold it tightly and probably be able to just push the projectile in and out just with your hand. If the neck can hold the projectile firmly enough, it'll be alright. Whatever the interference might be from one's annealing, whatever the level of anneal that's accomplished, what you want is consistency, which is really what we're after.
Proper annealing is a function of temperature and time. If it takes a long time to heat up the neck and shoulder, a lot of heat can move down the body towards the web and could weaken the body, which is not what you want. In the case of taking a relatively long time to do the annealing, water quenching can stop this heat + time process along the body. But, this is seldom an issue for annealing brass as the time taken to do the annealing is short enough and the brass cools off fast enough on it own once out of the flame that quenching serves no purpose.
thanks my man.
And here we go again...
