Sums up the process very well. For the person who doesn't have large numbers of cases to deal with, a small setup is fine. Me, I have enough cases to pre-load for most of my rifles for a three day - yardage event or around 300 per chambering. I only have two of the three day events per year so I try to rotate the cases so that I don't anneal very often. I do them all during the winter though. With the machimne, I can do all of them with the help of my co-owner of the maching in an hour easily. Having a co-owner in some of the expensive tools helps justify owning them.
 
I like the idea of dipping just the neck and shoulder into molten lead. These lead melting pots that are used to melt lead for cast bullets have some sort of temp controller on them, don't they. That way the temp could be uniformly controlled with some certainty. Next question is which one to buy.

The lead pot

A friend told me he anneals his cases using a Lead pot. It seems an easy way to do it. One must handle the cases, no matter what so simply dunking them in hot lead @ the proper temp seems good way to do the process. Must try it sometime.

yes but do it in a well ventilated area as the lead vapor is, well, toxic as hell. --greg
