Every how often is this necessary? Also what is the easiest way of doing this and the fastest way? I was looking at the different machines out there however they do not work for all chamberings for instance 17 hornet and 460 Weatherby

I hold my cases, by the base with my fingers, and rotate the necks in propane torch flame till they become too hot to hold. It averages about 10-12 seconds. I only anneal cases 308 or longer and hold my magnum cases a bit further up so as to get about the same time in the flame. Not real scientific, but it seems to work.

I have an AMP MK II annealing machine. I’d be glad to anneal your brass. You’d simply have to buy the pilot(s). https://www.brownells.com/reloading...uction-annealing-machine-prod122084.aspx

I hold my cases, by the base with my fingers, and rotate the necks in propane torch flame till they become too hot to hold. It averages about 10-12 seconds. +1 I anneal every 4th firing. Best accuracy is with the second anneal. Been doing it this way for over 60 years.

Too fumble fingered to use that method. I use a socket in a drill. I will check a couple by the finger method while counting the seconds, using the Mississippi method. Then just count on the others. I used to watch the necks change color in a semi dark room, but then I got to where I had trouble seeing it. Old eyes, I guess. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Haven't done it for a long time now, but when I did I filled a pan with water up to the shoulders of a bunch of brass standing up in the water. Got em all hot with a torch and tipped them all over. Seemed to work as I remember. Since then I got rid of, or don't shoot that often, any guns that were/are hard on brass.

The AMP machine is awesome but $1500 is a bit much, I like the salt bath any day over the torch
