I will admit I know very little about mechanical annealers, but would a mechanical annealer reach down & pick up that area from 0.4" from the base up to about 1" from the base or does it just torch the case mouth & neck, stopping @ the neck?

On these Bertram Boxer pocket 6,5X70R sticks of brass, if you don't anneal to within 0.4" of the base, there's $5 up in smoke every time you pull the trigger. And I just don't want to start down that path. Luckily I have several cracked cases from which to learn.

For now, I don't see any way to properly anneal the case from the mouth to within 0.4" of the base without doing it by Hand?
