Depends on the case size. 308 takes longer than 223 until I feel the warmth in index finger & thumb. I grasp the case head between thumb & index finger, insert neck/shoulder into flame, roll case between finger/thumb until case warms to the touch. Definitely not hot enough to hurt, but warm. Set the case down, on to the next one. I'll see a bit of color change on neck/shoulder surface.

Rug3, play what I described above in your noggin, that's what the YouTube video would look like.

JB's wax candle & this DNA candle method are better for me due to the less intense heat than a propane torch outputs. I'm not able to overheat the case neck for this reason. Slower & more controlled, but still quick enough.
