On a good news sourcing note, I was able to track down the new Bertram Brass importer, Desert Tech Munitions, and after a lightening fast response, he assured me that in the next shipment he would request some 6,5X70R sticks of brass. A shipment just left so it will be several months before a new shipment is cobbled together.

Raimey,
I don't go by time, if I'm not holding the cases in bare fingers I go by color. Don't let them turn red, they will be burned. Try to catch the color you see on unfired military or civilian cartridges that have not had the color polished off. Don't count on saving burned cases. Someone else may know of a machine that will meet your needs, but I have no experience with the machines. If you go with Bertram, don't buy a pile of them, at once. Buy a few cases first and see what it will take to make them useable. I haven't used Bertram cases but from other's comments, you may need to anneal them too. Bertram's may be your best bet. If you wind up needing to modify the rims, don't consider that much of a problem. Good Luck.
Mike
