[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3091946, member: 15054"] 30 seconds to dry them on top of the wood stove in the winter. :) Or I lay them on a towel in the house and over night they will dry out. When I was doing a brass fail test which involved 4 different .308 head stamped cases shooting each one until it failed. I was lubing inside and out and one case i forgot to remove the lube from the neck and trickled powder into it. CRAP!! powder stuck on the neck sides inside the case..I pushed the powder down into the case and swabbed the lube out of the neck with a Q tip and inserted the bullet. This was done at the range. That 1 shot ruined a nice hole that all the other rounds went into..probably 25 rounds into a 50 cent size hole and that one goof went low and left about 1.5" from all the others. Yes I removed the lube from the neck like all other rounds but what got on the sticks of Varget I feel is what ruined the average. Those cases were only brushed and wiped off and 0000 steel wool removed any carbon on the necks. Winchester case went 18 reloads All cases were Full length sized in a Lee die. 10FP savage rifle with large chamber. Remington case went 52 rounds before failure..No cases got a split neck NO annealing . All cases died from case head crack. [/QUOTE]
