    If you cannot control your rate of heating easily use the water tray method.

    Yep by hand, Cordless drill, 10mm deep socket & a Mapp torch

    I reckon it's about 1.5 seconds per case , the first one I thought I'd count to 5...it was glowing red hot by 3

    If you are handy, you can make a machine to do it - lots of examples on Youtube.

    You can go really basic:

    Or a bit more high tech:

    Personally I would just pay a bit of money and get something ready made - these are £180 delivered.

    Fookme, £180 buys a lot of cases.i seldom require to anneal my cases and usually get 5-8 cycles out of them before even thinking about annealing.
