This has worked pretty well for me:
It is a regular heat plate stove, not induction based.
Don't know why the camera made the plate look purple.
Shoot from a rest at 25/50/100 yards, then post your groupings. That is the only way to compare accuracy results.
Not sure either, but you certainly altered the Space/Time Continuum!

Heated plate is emitting IR light which is invisible for our naked eye but your probably cheaper camera (without sufficient chip filter) amplified it
It definately looks cool!

I found the supper market citric acid to be way to expensive unless I wasn't looking at the same stuff. The local brewing supply store was just as bad. I found the on line price to be much better and it works good. I didn't notice any difference between it and the lemi shine.
Good shooting

I have a question. I looked through the threads first, but may have missed it. Anyway, why do we use a citric acid bath? Is it part of the annealing process or just to clean up the brass after? If it is just to clean can I wait til they cool and then SS tumble? Thanks guys. Thaks to BT I'm a .40 to .45 guy.

It's just to clean the brass. After a hot citric soak for
10 or 15 min. I rinse with plain water, dry, then tumble.
SS is more agressive I think, probably wouldn't need the
citric, but it is cheap & easy. I've been using cheap
uncooked rice for tumbling media, gets 'em clean but
not as shiny as walnut or other stuff. Experiment!

I have a product I have had for a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG time. It was callled "Case Brite or Brite Case" don't recall exactly. I put a couple of caps in with my tumble media when needed. Cases come out bright and shiney. (I use Lizard Litter desert mix.) It was made for bullet cases so I don't believe it has any of the amonia in it.
I did a search and the only thing that came up was Rooster Brite, which also had no amonia. Here is a link if you want to try it:
