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.
I know what the 6mmBR site says. Those folks have no idea what they are talking about.
They read something, and pass it on without ever even trying what they talk about... never happens here, does it?? 
Go here and read my posts - it is about half way down the page.

I use a $2,500 tool to measure neck and base hardness - they use nothing, and scream that the sky is falling.
It is the case neck that turns dark red, not the flame... the flame will stay light blue.
