+1 for annealing, if you're not doing this already then its likely to give you the best gains. You don't need flash gear, but of course you can go that track if you want. There's also a guy on TradeMe that will do induction annealing for you for ~$25 per 50. I think he's a forum member here too - cant remember his handle. That's probably a good way to start and see what differences you get. See other thread on here recently re impacts of annealing (or not) on case hardening & neck tension.
