Is some annealing better than none? Have been working on a couple hundred 223 brass getting them trimmed. I know I don't have to anneal and will have to toss brass as they split. And I know that getting it too hot (glowing red) is too much. I also know that you don't want the base of the case to get heated.
I watched a video of an annealing machine at work and the brass was only under the flame for about five seconds, which leads me to the question above. If I roll my brass necks through a flame (propane torch) for five to ten seconds then quench them in water, is that worth doing. (Yeah, I know it's all relative.)
Your thoughts and comment are coveted.
Life is good.
