[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4369801, member: 15054"] I have. But I have also done testing on how long 308 cases will live and in the 50 rounds with full length resizing for Remington cases. Now the clincher Never annealed and the cases did not die from a split neck they all died from case head separation. If you want the case to live a long life then do not over work the case and do not load max charges. Find an accuracy node in the lower level. I found my 308 winchester cases died after 8 rounds. I then discovered i was pushing the shoulders back many thousandths of an inch. I reset my die to set shoulders back .001" or none . I also honed then polished my dies out so I was minimally sizing the cases. Bolt action rifle. Now my cases get sized at the most .002" anywhere besides the case neck. The brass does not flow as much forward that way and it is way easy to resize the cases. BLACK SHARPIE [ATTACH type="full"]532460[/ATTACH] I have tested this permanent marker vs Tempilaq And used both on the same case at the same time and the sharpie will disappear at the same time Tempilaq reads hot enough. Sharpie is quicker and easier. Draw a line down case neck to mid way down the body on 2 sides of the case to be annealed. Spin it in the flame and watch what happens. I thought of this sharpie method years ago when i was walking in Lowes and seen High temp sharpie near the checkout. Note High temp and regular are the same. If you have a sharpie try it. Pretty cool to watch that line fade out. My buddy was over annealing with his Tempilaq as he was trying to make it create a flame and totally vanish. [/QUOTE]
