Annealing Cases

I just recieved around fifty .243 winchester cases that are over 20 yrs old. I would like to anneal the necks. I have watched and read alot about it and have tried before.

what ive learned from the net is you want just the case neck to get 650 deg F. I read a article on the net that says to used a welding crayon and mark the shoulder with the 650 deg and when it changes color it turns to a different color indicating that the neck has reached 650 deg. Sounds great, but these markers cost 20$ thats more than I paid for the cases.

I would like to know different techniques, like how many seconds should I hold the torch on it.

if anybody could help with this that would be great!
