Hip,

just passing on a tip.... I really don't watch the necks, and see to them turning color on any annealing I do..

on 223 or 22.250 cases, I just hold them in the flame and count to six. with a pair of needle nose pliers...

for 243 to 338/06 cases I hold them into the flame with the needle nose pliers, and count to 8...

and then I just let them air cool, instead of the water quinching 'method'...never been a problem...

sometime I even throw the little small decorative bucket I put them into the frig for like 5 minutes and then go load them..

my set up is pretty basic, but works just fine...

but I got to admit, I DON'T hold cases by my fingers and put them over a candle flame, until it burns my fingers...

that is what a pair of needle nose pliers is for.... call me a woose, but that is what works for me.
