I was wondering if it's practical to anneal case necks with a camping stove, either a propane/isobutane backpacking canister stove or a white gas stove.
I'm thinking I could use the Hornady annealing kit with the drill attachment and the indicator cream.
Not going to get hot enough. A Berzn-o-matic propane torch works and they can be had cheaply at Home Depot or Lowes.
Why won't it get hot enough? i used to melt lead for muzzle loader bullets on a coleman stove and that is hot enough to anneal brass.Quote:

I would think the cartridge would get to hot before the neck would get hot enough therefore ruining the cartridge. Just my thinking.
all you need is a propane torch, bucket of water and 2 of the fingers you were born with.
You might not need the water but the fingers are a given. ;D
