    Annealing Privi and S&B brass

    Just annealed brass from different manufacturers, and found both look different.
    The S&B brass has a distinct colour change, bit like Lapua does.
    The Privi stuff has less of a contrast, colour wise.
    Both annealed exactly the same
    So, does S&B brass have more copper in the 'mixture' ?
    Thoughts ?

    PS, both reload, and shoot, fine.
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    I have found that old brass colours up more that new/polished brass, especially Norma.
