I always just let it air cool. I guess quenching is for the impatient 🤷
as a trained jeweler and as a brass line operator (made all those shiney brass suppository's that go into your unmentionable rifle's breech for one of the big 3 manufacturers ) we always quenched to get it soft enough to work with without stress cracks ....I guess we did this extra step unnecessarily ?
