Do NOT pay attention to the color of the brass - it can be very deceiving.
Just to clarify, when the tip of the flame turns dark red leave the brass for another 3 to 4 seconds? The 6mmbr site said that when the case neck is at a red heat, it's being over-annealed.
Rich, thanks for the kind offer! I'll send you a PM here shortly.
