[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2563450, member: 106845"] I get it and a completely agree. It’s a price that needs to be justifiable to you and your particular needs. There are a lot of hunters that just don’t shoot enough or to distances where they level of consistency is required. There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s also nothing wrong with using equipment that isn’t truly needed either. And yeah, the pilots are an additional expense. The plus side is it’s a one time expense and you just screw them in until they stop and that’s your whole setup for each cartridge and when switching cartridges. There’s no adjusting timing and doing trial and error getting the wheel speed, nozzle direction and distance set, flame intensity set, etc, etc and it also means the AMP is set exactly the same every time. So there’s pluses there to the AMP as well, but you’re still spending way more for that convenience. I know I hated switching cartridges with my Annealeez and switching back. I never got it exactly as it was the last time and it always bugged me. It took me a long time to feel like the AMP was worth the money. I used to be big on telling others in forums like this and Facebook groups that a torch is all you need and spending that kind of money on an AMP is stupid. What ultimately changed my mind though was using one, learning a ton more about annealing and the benefits of doing it right, and starting my own business prepping brass, loading ammo, manufacturing ammo and bullets, etc. I felt customers would appreciate it more and feel more confident in paying for annealing if it was done using an AMP. It’s a tax write-off too for me since it’s for my business. Not many others have that bonus. Bottom line: figure out what is best for your particular needs and what you can justify based on that. There are plenty of ways to go about annealing. [/QUOTE]
