    oops, just saw Shearer's post after skimming to the bottom.... I'm with him
    oh, and the anneal temp looks like 250c in that graph, for some kinda brass.....
    reach temp, hold for time of choice to be certain chrystals are aligned, then cool at some rate that doesn't bring in more stresses....
    brass harden with work, steel by quick cool to lock in new Chrystal structure.
    Wouldn't the shoulder crush when resizing, Primer pocket expand, and neck run into the throat on firing?
