Gentlemen,
I have read on here about annealing prior to swaging. I have seen alot of very creative ways to do so. I too came up with a way that is very efficient. I use my hot plate. I load it up with .40 cases, usually about 100 or so then I put the cores in. We all know that lead melts at 621 degrees so I know I am getting them at least that hot. Maybe hotter.
My question is 2 fold. 1] Is that hot enough to anneal and 2] how long do I need to let them sit at that temp before annealing is complete?
As usual thanks in advance for your help.
