Always dry my brass in the kitchen oven on the keep warm setting. It runs around 150 F. This temp will not affect the brass nor will 300 F but oh it burns if you forget and pick up a case before they cool.

I think this is probably the most basic and Final determination I'm drying brass in a household oven.
I spoke with a man named Hunter Pilant from Starline brass and I quote:

You will not harm brass buy drying in an oven at 170 degrees. You do not begin to change the Metallurgy of the brass until you were in the upper 400 Fahrenheit range.end quote.......
If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got.

Out of the pins & On to an old towel out on my back porch for just a bit.
But this is Arizona so, I guess an oven is relatable???
