Reply With QuoteAny torch that can burn free standing, without holding a trigger.
I used a Map gas one with the case in a socket on a drill driver, but Map is hotter than propane & a few Hornet cases melted, so I'd go for a normal propane torch for more control.

As per the title I'm thinking of trying basic annealing of rifle cases, it will be the 'case in a suitable socket' type I'm going to try.
So has any member found a particular torch good for this use?
Also has any member used the 'Tempilaq' liquid which melts at a specified temp?

If you have carried on annealing rifle cases? are you satisfied with the results or have you moved on to a 'pukka' one?
Yes I thought a 'Mapp' type might be a bit too hot, thanks.

No I've since stopped reloading, don't shoot enough CF to bother.
