I observed quite the opposite. I stoped using my auto anneal after I experimented in pitch black. I noticed some brass would turn past cherry red up to a nice bright orange while other would just start to glow cheery red using the same timer. Cases are just too inconsistent. I’m way more accurate annealing in a pitch black room and stopping at the first sign of cheery red. The difference between brass is usually a second or two max depending caliber and brand of brass.
