Basically what I am interesteed in doing is heating something that is inside
of the brass to a specific temp of around 500 degrees.

Inductive heater and a temp probe to set your reference.

Lead melts at about 550, so simply upending it and sticking it in a
pot of molten lead may be below liquidus at 500F

sure
you'd gain much from visual observations.
