Nothing to it, just need a propane torch and and some water. Everytime you resize your brass it gets harder (less flexible). Annealing just restores the 'flexibility' to your case mouths and neck, which 99% of the time is where your brass will fail. When I anneal, I like to do it in the dark, in order to better judge the redness of the brass. I like to only do about 20 cases at a time, any more I think it's hard to get 'em all hot at the same time, and then get 'em back cool. I stand the cases up in a 4x5 configuration, close together, but not too tight as to prevent geting even heat around them. I use a windex spray bottle (no endorsement there) to cool them, the coarser spray works better to cool them quickly that too fine of a mist, like from a plant misting bottle. Get everything set up, fire up the torch, kill the lights, get the cases hot (only from the mouth to just past the shoulder). Keep the torch moving to try to keep them all at the same level, you need to be able to move the torch 360 degress around the lot of cases. Be careful not to have the torch too high, or the flame can blow the cases over (usually one, but then the domino effect occurs). It wont take long, have the water real handy, as soon as you get a consistent very dull red glow, move the fire and hit 'em with the spray. Don't be stingy, spray like you're trying to put out a wildfire, you want to cool them as quickly as possible. When you're sure they're cool, pick 'em up, sling as much water out of the case as you can and throw on a towel to finish drying then, set up you next batch, and repeat. I found that doing all of this on a cookie/baking sheet is a good idea, so if you do tumble your cases during firing, or during the quenching, they are still contained on the sheet, not all over the shop floor. Hope that helps, JR
