I jsut did a 1/2 batch of .308 cases myself without quenching. I did it just as Scotty, but instead of water I just let them fall onto a towel. There were no signs of the towel getting hot, and the cases were okay to touch after just a few minutes. I did it with the lights off in the room so I could see the brass glow.
I am amazed at how much easier the necks came over the sizing button ( I am also using a Forster Carbide button) and the ease of seating bullets.
I split the brass into two lots. Annealled and not annealled. I then split those up again and neck turned 1/2 the annealled and 1/2 of the not annealled.
I then loaded all the brass identically with a known accurate load for my FNSPR and plan on doing a little comparison between the 4 different variations of brass. Should be fun and I will post my results.
