[@Mr.Mister001]

No insult intended; You aren't annealing the brass by much. To anneal it, you need to water quench it as soon as you pull it out of the oven. Brass and copper anneal opposite the way steel does. By letting it cool slowly you aren't annealing the brass by much if any. Might make things easier for you.

[@brandonsjsj]

You don’t quench brass when you anneal your neck doing so actually makes it harder slightly then air cool.

[@Lucas12v]

It's my understanding that the quench is just to speed up the process but isn't necessary. I don't anneal rifle brass but i have annealed a good bit of copper and bronze and never found quenching to be necessary although it is usually what i do so i don't have to wait. Maybe there is a difference and i just never noticed. I know some aluminum bronze alloys actually quench harden.

[@brandonsjsj]

@@Lucas12v I think it’s from not staying hot in the case with brass cases. It only take a few seconds at 750f to anneal brass and dropping in water stops the process- so maybe my case is due to the fact I just barely anneal enough and it finishes during cool down but I know if I add water to my process the brass is harder to size and has more spring back.

[@Lucas12v]

@@brandonsjsj that makes sense. I always thought I'd get into annealing rifle brass for my bolt guns but i never did. I get a few less loadings but I'm already busy enough as it is and I'm not a bench rest shooter. Barely get any shooting done these days anyway lol.

[@PrintsCharming13]

Having worked for a cartridge company where we would make our own brass (10-30k cartridges a day, depending on caliber) I can tell you this is not true. After cold-working operations (different drawing stages), we would anneal the parts in an oven and let them air quench before the next process. It’s the time at elevated temperature that anneals the metal, not the quenching process. I have used quenching in oil or water for hardening or tempering operations for ferrous alloys, but haven’t seen it used in brass annealing. My .02

It's amazing what you can achieve with it; with one set of dies you can make lead, soft-point, FMJ, or HP. I've used aluminum gas checks to top HP rounds before just for the heck of it. Some folks use airsoft pellets to make ballistic tips... That's to say nothing of the ability to customize your weight or size. Unfortunately it's a very expensive pursuit; but I convinced myself if I bought everything while I was still young it would somehow pay for itself. I guess as long as I live to 150 it should all work out, heh.

[@chriss31]

Came to the comments hoping someone had linked it...

[@psykoklown874]

Your videos are far more informative than any I found when looking into swaging. In a FA wet tumble I've found that 1 tablespoon Dawn and 1/4 teaspoon Lemishine works well for the initial cleaning, and for cleaning after annealing, but when cleaning swage lube after derimming I up the Dawn to 1 Tablespoon. They come out shiny. I am surprised that you anneal before derimming. Typically it's the other way around.

[@TATVCanada]

That makes a lot of sense since the dawn is a degreaser basically. As for the annealing order; I've done it both ways. The reason I anneal my brass before derimming is I'm using a fairly small reloading press vs a larger one like an RCBS or a dedicated swaging press. I worry that the linkage may suffer from excessive force, so I tend to err on the side of caution and anneal to soften it up some first and reduce the pressure. If I had a more powerful press I'd definitely anneal afterwards instead.

[@psykoklown874]

I get what you're saying; derimming is the hardest part. From what I've read, and from my die instructions, annealing first can lead to inconsistencies and torn cases, so I've always derimmed first. I'm using a dedicated Lee Classic Cast. I didn't think that a toaster oven would reach annealing temps, and I don't have a self cleaning oven, so I use a dedicated Lee 4-20 pot with a PID set to 1000F. Fill it 1/3 full (about 3 good handfuls) and it takes about 10 minutes after it hits temp. I heard the name Blackmon come up a lot when I was looking into swaging. It seems they're rather coveted by swagers.

[@TATVCanada]

I've torn the bottom out of a few cases before, but we're talking maybe 5 out of a thousand. The toaster oven definitely can anneal the brass to some extent, as I took a few pieces to friend from work who has access to a machine for testing malleability, but I have no doubt that it remains the 'poor mans' annealer. I've heard of the melting pot method but I was frustrated with how few casings I could fit in mine. Maybe I should give the 20lb-er a try with some foil or something over the top to help hold the heat in.

[@psykoklown874]

That's less bad ones than I expected. I wonder if they stretch and thin out more when run through the die. I removed the pour mechanism (dedicated pot to prevent lead contamination) and use a piece of broken pizza stone that someone threw away on top of my pot. The pot will get hot enough to bake the zinc out of the brass (lesson learned), and that's why I use a PID set to 1000F *pot set on high) with the thermocouple in the center of the pot. Once it hits temperature, I give them a really good stir (I dump them in a metal pan so that I can mix them really well and then pour them back in the pot) and set a timer for 5 minutes. The temp will drop, so I set the timer for 6 minutes. If the mouth squished easily, they're done. The heating element only covers the bottom 1/3rd of the side of the pot, that's why you only fill it 1/3 with brass.

[@NecrosAcolyte]

Very nicely done, but cooling at room temperature is only a requirement for steel and iron. Brass, gold, copper, silver, and most other metals and alloys can all be cooled with water without screwing with your anneal.

[@TATVCanada]

I'm not a metallurgist so I can't necessarily explain the science of it, but I can tell you that I've done extensive testing of quenching both pure and alloyed lead and every test I've ever run has indicated it makes a big difference. If you're interested, you can check out some of my lead hardness testing series.

[@philmarek3272]

Hey mate, I think he was talking about the brass annealing. I came to comment and suggest a water quench as part of your brass annealing. I bet you'll find the results to your liking. :)

[@heaanlasai866]

Your channel is awesome! Flare launcher 26.5 mm is common on ships, they enable you to have a lot of flares on hand. Lately getting new flares for your legally owned 26.5 mm has become more and more difficult. Please forgive my English, I'm trying to translate terms but I'm uncertain of the correct translation. The 26.5 mm cartridge contains a "torpedo shaped" aluminium header. The header is launched into the air. After X seconds, a separation charge is ignited. From the bottom of the bullet shaped aluminium header, an illumination body is pushed out and attached to the illumination body is a parachute. I have the proper licences for this, previous experience in professional pyrotechnics and high powered rocketry, I can make a reliable separation charge, illumination body and parachute. But swaging the torpedo shaped aluminium header is very challenging. I have almost no experience swaging aluminium with such a wide diameter. Is it even possible to form an aluminium header with swaging dies, or is this reserved for industrial engineers? As you know 26.5 mm have three main types of cartridge. Short, standard (long) and standard (long) rocket assisted. Short cartridges give immediate illumination. They shoot an illumination body like a pyrotechnic comet. Long rocket assisted contain a rocket to lift the illumination body. Long standard have no rocket motor. Instead the illumination body is launched to the right altitude with a single lift charge. This is the most reliable in my experience, but also have a stronger recoil.

[@TATVCanada]

It's interesting you mention flares; I'm actually developing my own 12G flare shells right now... To your question though, aluminum can be swaged, but it's probably outside the ability of the home machinist. The pure lead I make these bullets with (which is one of the softest metals you can work with) still requires a LOT of force to work with. Aluminum is substantially harder than lead; when coupled with the larger diameters you're describing, I think you'd need a hydraulic press.

[@heaanlasai866]

Yes, it is absolutely in hydraulic press territory. Short version: I'm a student. See me as an enthusiast who has accumulated a wide range of licences over the years. I'm no engineering student, but I'm enthusiastic about that too. Through my student friends I have access to a number of professional grade hydraulic presses, but I will have to design all dies from scratch. The other students are all motor machine engineering students so they know squat about swaging. They use the presses for different purposes. I'm allowed to use their machines as long as my swaging dies are well made, and I bring home baked cookies and micro brew beer. At my dad's garage I have access to a 20 ton press, through friends access to professional strength hydraulic press tools. But no 500 ton industrial press. Can it be done on this scale? Note. Right now I'm just a broke student living off noodles. I won't be making anything until after I've made some money next summer. But I like to plan my projects in advance. Depending on which project pans out, I might design and ground test a large hybrid rocket motor, machine a few swaging dies and see if I can get good results or do some completely different project. I have a friend who now develops specialty ammunition for SAAB. He can design dies which are nothing short of works of art. But out of respect I can't ask for his help with this.

[@Thorsaxe777]

I really like your channel dude. If you don't mind me asking, What did you have to go through to own Handguns in Canada? I know the process is a lengthy one compared to the United States, However, it would make a good video for us here down south. Keep up the good work Buddy. There are others in Canada that want a handgun for personal protection when being isolated in the tundra of the Canadian wilderness. It would be another informative video for the citizens of your Country. Dave.

[@TATVCanada]

Thanks, Thor's Axe777, I really appreciate the feedback. In Canada, handguns are classified as 'Restricted' firearms, which means you need (another) license for them called a Restricted Possession and Acquisition License (RPAL). It's kind of like an upgrade for your existing firearms license. About a year ago I made a video on the process for getting your gun license in Canada, and I've been meaning to make a followup on the Restricted license so maybe I'll quit procrastinating and get that done. In a nutshell you need to already have your Possession and Acquisition License (PAL), then you take a restricted firearms safety course, perform a practical test and a written test. It's usually done over two days (typically on a weekend). Then you mail all that crap in and wait a few months while the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police; sort of like your FBI) do a background check similar to when you get a passport. Heh, yes we do have a lot of folks who'd like to get a carry permit but they're almost unheard of here. You basically need to live in some ultra-remote place where Grizzly Bears are an everyday problem and even then it's an insane process!

[@OTHumbo]

Straight to the point - I like it! Excellent series on swaging, I have a Blackmon press and dies on the way after watching your videos. I've read that most people who use 22LR brass as jackets derim before annealing due to higher success rate and less split cases. Have you tried both ways? Is derimming after annealing the best option with the Blackmon derim die? Ole

[@TATVCanada]

That is an excellent question! I've done it both ways, and there are advantages/disadvantages to each. The advantage to annealing before de-rimming is if you're using a smaller press and/or don't have a secondary base plate beneath it. When I first began, I was using the press shown but without the steel plate, as a result, it took a tremendous amount of force to process the casings and was actually starting to damage my bench. I switched to annealing them first and that made a big difference in reducing the amount of force (and thus strain on the press and bench); I've just sort of stuck with that method ever since. The downside to annealing before de-rimming is that sometimes the cases 'stick' to the punch, presumably because the metal is softer and more malleable. The solution to this is to make sure you're using enough swage lube as it builds a barrier between the casing and the punch so that they slide off easily. I've only had two casings split in all the time I've been doing this so for me that was never a concern. Now that I have the base plates installed under my press, whether or not I anneal my casings before de-rimming depends more on the weather outside (where I do the annealing) than any real preference.

[@OTHumbo]

Thank you for your quick and very thorough answer! If I can get away with annealing the brass before de-rimming, that is for sure the route I'm going to take. I'm not too worried about my bench, I have the press mounted on an Inline strong mount that seems to withstand almost anything. I'm in the long run a little bit more worried about my shoulders, I'll take more effortless swaging and a few split cases over sore shoulders and sleepless nights any day. The next step is to figure out an easy and efficient way of applying lube to a whole batch of jackets and cores. I read about a guy who coated a mason jar with anhydrous lanolin and tumbled the jackets inside the jar with a rock tumbler. I already have the rock tumbler and lanolin, so I'm going to give it a go. I will report my results.

[@TATVCanada]

The lube application issue is a legitimate one; as you saw in the videos, I usually do it by hand. That said I've heard of folks spraying/applying some to the inside of a plastic bag and shaking the casings up inside of it similar to what you described. Regarding your shoulders; a lot of people make a longer handle for their press or use a length of pipe over top the existing one to extend it. The extra leverage makes a major difference. I've even seen one gentleman who converted his to run on pneumatics!

[@OTHumbo]

A great tip to lengthen the handle, we'll see if it's necessary when the press and dies arrive. Brian Thurner, BT Sniper here on YT, sells a pneumatic press for derimming. It also seems like a nice setup.

In my case I got several cases breaking and having the punch go completely through the case leaving it stuck at the base of the punch. Thanks fir a great video series.

[@TATVCanada]

I prefer to do it that way as I've found it dramatically reduces the amount of force required. That's more of a personal preference though.

[@RichardCranium321]

I'm hoping you can answer a question for me... I've seen those penny press machines here in the states that make souvenirs & I know they did away with pennies in Canada.... -Is it possible to use pennies to make "copper" jackets?I'm aware they're no longer real copper, but they're probably the cheapest material that one could easily get their hands on, especially once they inevitably phase out hard currency. At the current rate our money is being devalued, I'm afraid it'll be sooner than later...

[@TATVCanada]

If I recall, 'modern' Canadian pennies were copper plated zinc. Could be mistaken but that's always been my understanding. Zinc is harder than copper, brass, or lead so it'd probably be harder on barrel rifling. Not sure where you'd get dies. They could handle the pressure either. Derimming a brass casing (which is already nearly the right shape) takes a fair bit of force. Going from a flat circle to a shaped jacket, even setting aside the fact zinc isn't very malleable, would probably over stress most presses.

On Mohs scale lead is 1.6 hardness. Aluminum is 2-2.9 hardness. Copper is 3.0. Brass is 3-4. Are these factors of 10 times as hard? If you could get aluminum wire, you could eliminate lead, and avoid the barrel fouling or harshness of the aluminum by adding a jacket. Seems like it would make great cheap plinking ammo.

[@TATVCanada]

@@thegoodlife2021 The problem as I see it would be that the dies are not designed to handle the additional pressure required to swage aluminum.
