Also it depends on turning speed, if you run the drill as fast as it can go it'll take longer. Old Hawkeyes method is the one I stick to, but after a few ten thousand cases the little VarTarg won't take more than seven seconds when using the method I stated. The main thing, as soon as you see the color change pull it. No need for water bath unless it makes you more comfortable.
