Annealing

[Gunner500]

I haven't annealed my 44-77 cases yet, will do so after four firings, then never again for the life of the case, I anneal with a propane torch on a bench top, turning with my fingers about three quarters of an inch in front of the casehead, when hot to the touch, drop in a 5 gal bucket of water.

set out to dry, full length re-size, trim to uniform length, debur, tumble clean, then load.

Have done smokeless cases like this for decades, and black powder cases for the last six or seven years, no problems.
