After tempering for 10min at 150c (350f) it should come out at around C62 but I've never sent a piece off to be tested so I'm not 100% on that, but it should be pretty close. I do use an off cut of the bar I'm working with, heat treat and temper it along side the blade I'm working on at the time, then once its sat for a couple of days put it in a vice and just give it a tap and if it breaks off nicely and has a good crystal structure I'm happy that its a good piece of steel and the heat treat has worked well.
