Salt Bath Annealing

[Doublezranch]

Currently there are lots of annealers on the market today. The DIY drill and torch, the fancy benchsource, and the high dollar induction style electric units. I was in the market and found Ballistic Recreations. Gary Chambers makes and sells salt bath kits for annealing. All you have to provide is a melting pot. It looks extremely legit and the nice part is the salt holds it temperature very well. I ordered one and should be here early next week.

Check it out for yourselves.



Thanks!

That's a pretty cool setup.

Looks easy and consistent. Anyone using this method? I would guess it's fairly new.

I have his website bookmarked. I was going to order one back in December but after ordering everything for a custom I kind of gave myself the red light until its finished.

I got one for Christmas. Just about ready to give it a try. I've been focusing on a 6mm Creedmoor lately.

The wife gave me a scowl as o was ordering my melter pot off amazon. I told her jewelry could be melted as well got scowled at again. No sense of humour.

I'm ok with a torch. But, if I tried anything else, salt would be it.

Not sure if this is allowed and apologize if not. This thread on another site has interesting information on the subject.

I've been using this method and Ballistic Recreations products for nearly a year now. I think the process is actually pretty fun and it seems to be very consistent. I would suggest ordering an extra container or two of the salt as you do lose some due to "drag out", but it's not bad.

I have a friend that has this set up, and he has quite a few rounds through it, as do I. The consistency and simplicity is amazing. I have some 223, 6.5cm, 6cm and 300 wm with it. All worked great. I had to leave the 300 wm in the salts just a split second longer than the 223 to get the same consistent result. Mine is on way!

Piece of cake this is by far the easiest,cheapest and most consistent method I have used.
