I use a cordless drill to spin them very slowly to keep the heat even. I made a bit with a thin layered aluminum walled "socket" to block the heat from the shoulder. The case slips in easy and still shrouds the shoulder. Only the neck is above the shroud. I focus the blue tip of the flame centered on the neck and spin slow as the drill will spin which for my drill is about 60 rpm. I do this in the dark with only the light of the flame. I like to start with fowler brass to get the timing. Soon as the neck gets an even orange glow I dump it in the ice water and start on the next case. Depending on the torch it's around 6-9 sec a case with my propane torch or 2 with the cutting torch turned way down to tiny flame (propane and oxygen) which is my fav method.  I like to resize( neck only) them in the sonic cleaner for 30 min then aneal. Then size neck and trim.  I used to aneal every 5th loading but lately I been doing it on the 3rd.
Been doing it this way for a few years not and have reloaded the brass like I said 96 loadings on my oldest lot of brass. Not one split neck. Every peace of brass grows very slowly after fire form and most trimmings (now each 3rd loading) im trimming around .001-.0015.  I also aneal my 44 mag brass and have a 100 batch at 18 loadings with cast(resize and flaring mouths then crimping) also with not one split case or any other culling.

You mentioned using a drill?  Fill me in on that a bit if you could.  I've just always torched then water bathed.  What's the drill for?
To rotate the case in the flame

Glad we have an engineer around to help us out!!
