Howdy,
I am soon-to-be new swager. I have some stuff coming in the mail from a member here.
Anyway, I don't have a furnace, and I darn sure don't wanna buy one just for this. So I need another method of annealing jackets.
I know I can do it with a simple propane torch, but I also know that consistency = uniformity = accuracy. So my real question is how do I BEST anneal jackets to get repeatable results. I have annealed cases before using the stand-the-case-in-a-pan-of-water method with good results. But cases are much thicker than jackets I'll be using. Also, extending case life is less influential on accuracy than the jacket that actually goes downrange. How do yall anneal jackets? Is there a difference between commercial jackets and spent 22 LR for jackets?
Any help will be appreciated.
