Re: thumb test for annealing
not familiar with the thumb test, sounds painful. I would recommend templac, it is most likely more acuurate and probably less painful.

Thumb test?
Your probably refering to pressing the case mouth against a hard object to see if it collapses in easily.

Re: thumb test for annealing
why not use a poundage measurement and check a new brass case and crush it at the neck... set that as your base line then crush one that you have annealed and that should be the reference. Just a thought as i start to anneal my self
