Played with my new Benchsource this morning in my man cave seriously for the first time. Annealed Lapua .308 brass that was fired 5 times, polished and cleaned first then put Tempilaq 650 degree paint on inside of necks on three pieces plus a swipe of 400 degree halfway down the body. Set the timer for 3 seconds and seemed that dwell was a little short, so redid on three more pieces and set timer for 3 1/2 seconds and looks like it did perfect.
One more piece to confirm. 650 degree paint cleared up in 3 1/2 seconds and indexed right after during the video.

Annealed the rest of the small batch with same dwell time.

First 3 pieces on left after annealing with burned off paint inside necks. The right two cases laying down was a fun test and checking 400 degree Tempilaq burn along length of case to determine how much heat traveled down the case with 3 1/2 second dwell.
Final result
Does the color on brass, dwell time and flame adjustment look like its correct? Please correct me if I am doing anything wrong.
