@P38 thanks man that's cool and much appreciated. I will think long and hard about how I look in a blouse and make the appropriate decision at the appropriate time. Pics to follow.

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.
PS I'm guessing these might be form of abrasion - when cases are extracted from the die or the chamber - like the tight fitting contact with the walls has dragged some adhering portions of material back?
Looks like your onto it @WillB
Yes check your dies very carefully, start with an unmarked case the run it through your dies, if no marks run the case through your rifle chamber, if still no marks then it was done somewhere else.
Maybe from a burr on your socket if you used a socket for the anneal process.

Thanks Pete. Do you think I should chuck them? I've just resized, chamfered and annealed, godammit.
Your choice.Quote:

Dang I think it's in the rifle chamber. I can run a case through and make similar marks. Is this something I need to worry about?
Those marks on your brass are made by raised swarf in the rifles chamber
I'm guessing the chamber has been slightly damaged by a home made " stuck case remover"
Or the factory reamer re- inserted into the chamber whilst stationary, ie non rotating

Cher. I've calmed down now. 😃Emailed Moritz Wassmann in Wellington. I actually think I can see a big burr on on the edge of a lug recess. Noticed it ages ago but didn't think it was causing problems. Must be catching them on the way in and out I reckon.
