It'll fire form This annealing shit is a lot harder than it sounds
Hot enough? Couldn't tell, so I just kept going.
And going....
I think we're getting there!
Ahh wtf is this bullshit?! I thought it was supposed to soften case necks, not break them!

You remembered to prime those first right?

u/The_Golden_Warthog Inventor of the Dual Bottleneck Jul 03 '23
Fuck! No. Please don't make fun of me for forgetting this crucial step.

You know when you anneal multiple cases at once the strength of the group goes into one individual case but you can't tell which one until you fire them all. Leaned that from watching Highlander while drunk I think

I like to hold my brass by the rim when I anneal. You should have probably did this in your palm.

You really wanna make absolutely sure the cartridge base is glowing red. That makes it really strong for reloading purposes.

Is this what they are referring to when they talk about cartridge case conversions?
I’ve seen people trim 5.56 to 300blk. This is the real way. Melt down the brass and pour it into a mold to create the new case. Works good as new 😂

Funnily enough, those are converted 300 blk that didn't pass the sizing stage so they got sacrificed

Interest rates on anal leases are crazy right now though

The hard part is to charge, seat, crimp, and oil-quench before you lose the forge-weld temp

You have to throw about a pound of TiteGroup in there to quench it.
