Annealing! Whats the best way to go.

Annealing,
I have read alot of info on this and I do Anneal my brass with Tempilaq 475F about 0.25 below the neck and shoulder junction.
But, I also was reading an article on this site with 650F Tempilaq on the inside of the neck.
What do you guys think the best way to do this? I feel good about using the Tempilaq product and would like to keep using it, just was wondering the best way to go about using it with the best results. Is it bad on brass to anneal every reload or is it best to wait a reload or two?
At first I had trouble getting it off my brass but a little rubbing alcohol will take it right off.
Thanks
Annealing,
 
Most of us who shoot the same 100 to 500 cases over and over have our own preferred methods.
This might save a lot of typing. http://theswissriflesdotcommessageboard.yuku.com/reply/12140#reply-12140

I run the same method as you describe with this exception . Put the 475 down about 1/8 inch below the shoulder. Play your heat at the neck and shoulder junction providing you are spinnig the brass. This will get your annealing temp hotter on the neck to make sure you are annealing the brass. You should notice discoloration about 1/4" below the shoulder but no further .I anneal every 4th firing . The Rifler
 
I think this new automatic neck annealing machine would work great in combination with some Tempilaq. They aren't suppose to be available until March 2010. Saw it introduced at the SHOT Show. Here is the link to the company that is making them.
