Thread: Annealing

Hi guys so I've had another go at it. This time I had a bunch of 6 times fired cases. I used the timer on my phone and held each one in the tip of the inner blue portion of the flame for 6 seconds. Used bare hands as per your suggestion Massive Attack. Could just feel it start to get warm when the time was up. I've crush tested one of these versus a brand new never fired but full length resized case and they feel very similar. If anything, the annealed case would be ever so slightly softer. I feel pretty confident that these are either annealed and safe, or not annealed at all. Which is where you want to be I guess. Certainly a step forward from last time. But then I noticed these:



Strange little nick marks. Not vertical but horizontal. This one is particularly bad but all the cases have them. I'd be best to chuck them out?

thanks for the input.
