Hi:

      Would somebody kindly advise me how I may  anneal 32-20 brass prior to forming to 25-20 brass?

You’ll need a propane torch and a pan of cold water. Set the pan on the table and the torch next to it so the flame is over the pan. Hold the rim in your fingers and put the mouth of the case in the flame rolling to hit all sides. When the rim starts to get warm drop it in the water. Pretty simple.

* Hold the rim of the case with one's thumb & index finger
* Put the propane torch below above the case mouth the distance that the bullet will be seated.  For bottle neck cases - just above below the shoulder
* Spin the case with you finger and thumb in the specific area stated.
* When the brass turns a bluish/green color (approvimately 650-680 degrees - drop it on a COTTON cloth ... Not in a cold water bath!  And NEVER heat the brass to a cherry red color.  That temperature is 1000 degrees - thus too soft and one's cases are hosed!
Factory cases are annealed in the same manner as the machine on ... (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
They should NEVER be dropped into a cold water bath - Air Cooled!
PS The Water Bath 'Tip Over Method' IMO will not evenly anneal the mouth as will spinning

But as is said ... there are are Chevy - Chrysler & Ford methods to anneal brass cases!
