Annealing Straight walled cases

I'm relatively new to annealing straight walled cases.

How far down the case do y'all generally try and anneal. For instance, on bottle neck cases, I put 750 Tempilaq inside the neck, and 700 Tempilaq just below the shoulder junction, where i try to only just melt both, then immediately remove it from the heat.

So with a straight walled case, do you go just below where the bullet generally stops (down in the case) when you seat it? Obviously most of the brass working is done at or just below the mouth with flairing and crimping (lever guns and revolvers).

Also, is the frequency recommendation the same as bottle neck cartridges? I ask because flairing and crimping back down is more brass work than I typically do in bottle neck cartridges.
