This is an unfired case.

So, all right, over annealing.

Over annealing would mean that you've annealed the brass so far that you've affected the case head and you affect the case head

You weaken the brass up in here because there's a certain hardness to it through that case head and web that you could cause more expansion than you need, cause a case head separation or something like that.

It's pretty hard to do.

If you're protecting the case head itself as you're annealing it, in most annealing machines, the case rides in a holder that protects that part of the case and acts as a heat sink, taking

the heat away from the case head and body.

But that's kind of why I'd like to switch to an induction annealer just for the speed because it is so much faster.

Instead of 20 or 30 seconds in a propane torch mode, it may only go a half a second, maybe a whole second by the time it cycles and works next case.

So it's faster, it's easier to, it's just easier

to adjust the case, the annealing portion of it.

You learn with the annealers that you have to adjust the torch each time you change cases and calibers.

So you're fiddling with things, getting it to work.

So doing large batches of cases is the way to go.

You also have to sort your brass.

You cannot use Peter.

and Alpha and Lapua and Federal and Winchester and throw them all in there and say they're going to be match grade.

You're going to have to sort your brass out and nail each one because each one has a different makeup of brass and chemistry.

Yeah, he is cheating.

Straight wall cases.
