what to look for in brass reloaded too much A brass life question

I use a cordless drill to turn the case with the correct size deep socket for that particular case, one propane torch, just a few seconds per case, watch the coloring and drop the case onto a rag and let it air cool.
Could not be simpler.

That is exactly how I have been doing it for quite a while, works like a charm.I do it in a darkened room, stop heating as soon as the case starts changing colour, this part just takes a little practise and drop them onto a dampened old towel.
 
Ditto. Same as Bad Bob...wait for a little flash of silver then drop them into one of my wife's old Pyrex measuring cups. Let cool. Resize...generally just neck at this point. If they were properly trimmed....good to go.

If you are "wearing out your brass" with split necks and not case head separation and/or enlarged primer pockets, that is a good thing and indicates that you are doing a lot of things right. Annealing is the next step to consistent accuracy and lengthening case life.
