Was it a red glow in light or in glow in the dark? My personally opinion is the case is a little over annealed if it’s glowing under a work light.

Either way it’s probably not pointless. Annealed is better than not annealed. I saw a guy put his brass in a socket on a drill driver and spin the case while butane torching it. If it works, it works.

Pretty much same setup. The room was dark no lights on.

I agree. The brass should just start to show a dark orange glow when it's done.

After done water or air dry?

 

[Mauser06]

I let mine cool in the air. Water doesn't hurt. But then you have to dry them. I rather continue my process and not wait for brass to dry.

 

[Steel head]

I air dry.

Havent heard much about the DD yet but why not another rifle with a proven track record like a tikka TAC a1?

Certainly not for this thread. I’ll see myself out.

Search for the Primal Rights video on this.

Try using a socket and a drill to hold and turn the brass.

Drink cheap beer from a can and chew Cope.
The last 2 are just good life advice while I was handing it out for free.
