Default Metalworking: Annealing brass?

Richard fired this volley in news:r4idnW1-
:

Spattering, sticky lead, and the
fact that lead is a dangerous poison make this not such a good idea.


PIFFLE! Do you never cast bullets?
IF you're concerned with breathing lead fumes, wear a mask.

But anyway... lead doesn't melt close _enough_ to 700F to properly do the
job. Even Super Hard doesn't melt much above about 650F.

As far as "sticky" ???? You've never heard of smoking a piece; right?
