[/align]Annealing: forget the Internet, but in real life I have talked with people about annealing with interesting results, two reloaders with a total of 60 years experience building rifles and reloading said they gave up after trying everything they read on the Internet, some of the advise cost one individual $200.00, long story, the other said he tried the 1" of water deal, My question was why stop at 1", why not run the water deep enough to come up to the shoulder, his reply, " Because the water boils at the point the heat comes in contact with the water" I explained to him that is called 'spheroid', meaning the case at that point was 212 degree F and the only way he could get the water to stay close to the case was to pressurise the air around the case, each increase ofl Lb. ofpressure increases the boiling point 3 degree (not an easy thing to do) or increase the boiling point of the coolant (water), both came to visit, I put together a project, I am not ambitious, convincing two people it can be done correctly is more than I started out to accomplish.

Ok, so bascially, your saying everyone is dumb besides you. Am I correct? So what temperature do you think the neck is getting too with the water around it with direct flame to it? What temperature do you think it takes to anneal brass? Since we are all forgetting the internet besides what you say?
Your correct on the water statement.
Bernoulli's principle has been around for a long time. But the water is acting as a heat sink. Why do you want the water to get up in temperature? Your want to only anneal the neck, why do you want to worry about the case body or the shoulders?
