    I'm only proud of the fact it works. An honest mate told me it looked 'agricultural' haha. Its for a 6.5x55 but I don't see why it would matter what cal as the wall thickness would determine the time in the flame? I dunno but I just tested it on crap brass and timed it till I had it working right. Had heaps of fun making it

    Doesn't the diameter of the wheel holding the brass in the flame also have a factor in the time in the flame?

    More the speed of rotation of the wheel. The diameter more controls the speed of rotation of the brass in the flame for one wheel rotation for any given motor speed.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
