    That’s not annealing, an instant cool is Tempering which will make the brass harder/brittle

    Dunno if it is temepering/hardening but I never rapidly cool my brass.

    Odd to do that after a couple firing so my guess is over annealing and a host of other possible issues.

    Thank the stars that you're wrong. Almost had me pulling bullets there.
