Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles How Do You Anneal?

I anneal at every loading to make my 7.62 military brass easier to work. My processing involves knocking back shoulder by 2 thousandths with a Redding body die and sizing the neck with a Lee collet die. My goal is to do best I can with a 308win factory bolt-action hunting rifle.

I use an 18rpm rotating water pan as a heat sink for my cartridge bases, and I used 700degF Tempilaq in the throat to determine my heating time with the way I apply my propane torch. So now now I use a metronome app to measure 6 seconds of torch time for each cartridge case.

This seems to work for me but I would certainly be glad for better ideas.
