    You provide a great service by presenting these kinds of videos for the younger and not so knowledgeable shooters! Plus, it's fun for us old guys to watch a class guy on YT! Have a Happy New Year my friend!

    Thanks! Just about to get into reloading,, had no idea about annealing brass. Brass is really expensive in New Zealand as well.

    I mainly anneal due to being a bit of a wildcat shooter when making cases. Especially cases that cost a arm and a leg in price here in Aus.
    I use to anneal for comp shooting, but leaving that side of the sport few years ago, these days just when forming and keeping the brass good for as long as I can due to the work involved in making them.
    Happy new year Cavedweller.

    Excellent! Annealing for at least 2 reasons: 1) lengthen reloading life of brass as brass necks work harden with firing/resizing. 2) more consistent neck tension among cases which may lead to more consistent hand loads.

    Top job as usual cavedewller! Here in the UK brass is at least double the price that you guys pay. Same goes for bullets and pretty much everything else! Have a great new year

    excellent video but putting the brass directly in the water would not make it harder?

    • @humansvd3269
      @humansvd3269 2 года назад

      No. Quenching brass makes it softer.

    Great info! I always thought the process was much more complicated. Is that just a propane torch?

    Never anneal brass that has primers (live or shot) in it or is fully loaded. There have been people who really did try to anneal their loaded rounds......not too bright.

  • @mikemanfull7469

    I’m a newbie. Can you anneal or should you anneal magnum brass? I shoot a 7MM Rem Mag.

    • @cavedweller1959
      @cavedweller1959  4 года назад

      I would definitely anneal with 7MM. It will greatly increase the lifespan of your brass.

    Is that one of those braising torches?

    • @cavedweller1959
      @cavedweller1959  6 лет назад

      It' just a soldering torch.

    • @chase9390
      @chase9390 6 лет назад

      Oh okay! I just bought a 22-250 we shoot prairie dogs I was wanting to make really nice loads for it and your videos are great! If you have any bullet weight and powder suggestions that would be awesome! Thanks

    • @cavedweller1959
      @cavedweller1959  6 лет назад +1

      My new go to load is a 53gr. V-MAX on top of 38.5 gr. of H380.
      The 53gr just this last summer replaced the 55gr V-MAX.

    • @chase9390
      @chase9390 6 лет назад

      Awesome I will have to load some up and test it! Thank you!
