Have I wrecked some cases?


walkabout

Recommended Posts

I normally dry my cases after the Ultrasonic bath either on the Woodburner for a short while or in the Oven, while the wife is cooking something.

My lovely wife put the cases in the oven for me, without me knowing for 40 minutes at 190C.

They have come out looking like they been annealed...are the wrecked?

post a close up pic if you can ! -- do they have the annealing colouring all the way from the rim and head ?

Mark,

 

190C's short of 400F which is short of the temperature that 'cartridge brass' starts to do anything.

 

From memory you need to be up round the 650 deg F (350ish C) for annealing purposes.
