Hilarious picture!

Every once in a while I run across an absurd stock photo for various industries, but this is the first time seeing one for reloading! I don't think its going to stay in the flame long enough to get annealed, lol!

When it gets too hot to hold, it’s done!

And after 100 cases your fingers will be toast.

Heat travels up. As long as you orient the case vertically, the heat won't make it to the case head. It's thermodynamics. I used to do it that way. I'd rather do it with cordless drill for better heat distribution on the neck.

Hot *air* rises, heat radiates equally in all directions, hot brass lands against your skin.

Exactly why we don't wear collared shirts to Garand matches...

My very first SR match I didn't have a brass deflector yet and let's just say i was strongly suggested to get one before the next match. A senior shooter gave me his after the match, lol!

Not Hilarious at all. You only need to do it for the first one to get Your count. Surprising how close it comes to the Aztec count.

Guys used to do this all the time, back in the day before there were machines for everything. I believe I remember reading either Dean Grennel or Elwood Epps recommending it in an old Reloader's Digest.
It works fine. Just when it's too hot to hold, it's probably hot enough at the neck. Drop it into a pan of water.

This guy showes how hands on is done.. Tommy Mc

To be fair, you do actually have to hold it in the flame, not behind it, for it to actually work.

He's a little low down, the brass needs to be at the tip of the blue cone.

Did someone inform him to remove live primers before annealing?

Trust me heat travels down also. I found out when accidentally annealing one with a live primer. About 4 seconds!

Still learning new tricks

They will remove them selves around the 4 second mark.

Maybe just maybe the man is a welder with 40 years experience. If that is so then this is nothing to him

 

[Hipshoot]

I used to anneal something like that but I held the case with my teeth.

Got the brass annealed and did away with my long Nose Hairs!

In the medical field, this method is also used for skin grafting

Or a chef. My friends who spend 10-12 hours a day in kitchen will grab 250° pot lids, spoons left in pans, or sheet pans out of ovens with just a single layer of towel sometimes.
