Looks cool but is there a reasoning for the different colors? Different loads perhaps? |

Scott http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g409/scotts5561/reloadingandAR017.jpg Normally, that's the case, but some people just like to paint them for fun (or perhaps like VT said for different loads). InfiniteGrim's are painted, I believe. I could be wrong. |

Brass is was un-annealed Winchester .308.
You can't buy un annealed cases, all cases are annealed as part of the manufacturing process, most commercial companies polish the discoloration away for purely cosmetic reasons, in military ammo function is important, cosmetics aren't important, so they don't polish the discoloration away. This is the same case, M193 IMI military spec case, unpolished and then polished.  |

So it's been annealed twice....color and consistent heat is something I'd been working toward for some time.
Heat traveled to a point and stopped pretty much the same place, every case. Brass was re-annealed using a waterless heat sink method.... something else I've been working on for months, No big deal, right ?? |

Different loads perhaps? those where some 750 amaxs i loaded up to go to the world shot a few years ago the colors were separate the groups for the weight groupings trying to get them as close to perfect as possible a 750 amax weighs in +/- 5.0 grains i grouped them for +/- 0.5 grains (lots of sorting there) i now use Tenx 795's which weigh in @ +/- .01 |
