About 90% of "how to" utoob vids need to be re-titled "Watch me video myself trying a sketchy method of doing something that I don't understand at all".

At large, whereabouts unknown.
There's bad advice, and there's dangerous advice. This guy falls under the latter. There is one guy on Boobtube who has an entertaining video on casting hollowpoint bullets, he casts them from wheelweights, then drops them in water to cool them so he can load right away. I wonder if that guy ever tried an expansion test on his shiny cast bullets.

hopefully it ain't the guy that taught him that trick.
I use a similar method to dead soften cases for swaging them into bullets.

Yep, the 2nd most dangerous thing next to handing an idiot a gun, is handing an idiot a video camera.

Kinda like me on fired .22 rimfire cases before I make tapered jackets .22 jackets out of them. Red hot dead soft.

But I NEVER anneal any case unless it rotates in the heat! There's enough to watch for without worrying the circumference of your work has an uneven anneal.

Video camera may actually be more dangerous. Others will watch and learn from the video. YouTube is full of experts on everything, just ask em.
