ok . did some testing ,
first thing is I am out of Tempilaq 750deg so I ran my test with 700deg Tempilaq, I was thinking large mag cases would get way too hot , turns out those are the only ones that worked , 300 win mag and 300 Wetherby mag, had the tempilaq right at the melting point as they got to hot to hold on to ,
but 7mmWSM, 35Rem, 30/30 , 270win, and 223rem all were to hot to hold long before the neck reached the need 700to 800deg, and the 25WSSM got so hot so fast I dropped it in the candle :banghead:
all in all my little test showed me the candle trick will not over do it , and may help keep some necks from splitting, but it is a waste of a lot of time for a maybe ,
time to go clean up my mess,
