Hello All,having disregarded many a brass case due to feeling it had been banged about too much,I'm wondering if I should be a little more adventurous in future,especially if it's a case that you don't come across too often.Brass,I believe,gets brittle and needs to be annealed if splitting is to be avoided,and I'd like to know the best way to go about this.I'm thinking cannon calibres upwards,not SAA,and perhaps dented in case necks mostly.If I apply the trusty blowlamp to the offending case neck,is it best to open up the mouth of the case while it's still hot,or wait until it cools?I visualize using suitably pointed wooden implements to start with,
and the projectile itself,point down to finish off with.Most of the info I've come across on annealing cartridge brass relates to shooters reloading cases,and they,it seems,have numerous safety issues,that I dont think
concern inert ordnance collectors.
