Re: Finished!
Well, at least we know you can push a red button and pull the trigger on a cordless drill. Good start. That's not the diddly dee taters boiler is it ??
On a serious note, those butane burners get pretty hot quick, how long are you taking for the cases to get annealed ??

Re: Finished!
I would count to three and dunk. These Lapua cases seem to be thicker so I was counting to 4 before they started to change colour

When you say "thicker", what are you comparing that too?trevort wrote:I would count to three and dunk. These Lapua cases seem to be thicker so I was counting to 4 before they started to change colour
Just be aware that cartridge brass is made using anywhere from Cu80/Zn20 to Cu60/Zn40. Colour is sometimes an indicator and there are comparison charts around but it's not definitive.
A bit rough I know but it's a summary as opposed to looking the TDS for each grade of brass within the range: http://www.justin-young.net/wiki/var/up ... _brass.pdf

Re: Finished!
Basically brass can appear more red than yellow depending on the zinc content, let alone the oxide/tarnish level. Colour being relatively subjective at the best of times becomes less predictable with a changing base metal colour as you heat.trevort wrote:ok thicker might e wrong word.

Those nickel plated brass cases and copper washed steel cases take forever to glow I needed a laugh today anyway.
