I'm wanting to start annealing my brass to help with brass life as well as get more consistent neck tension. I just reload as a hobby and for hunting. Not a competition shooting going thru thousands of rounds. Been looking at the annealeez as it is the most cost effective I have seen so far. I will be focusing my annealing on 28 nosler, 6.5 saum gap 4s, and 308. Will add 270, 243, 22-250, and 223 later. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks
 
funny you should ask .....

If I am only doing a hundred or so, I just use a drill and torch. I have an annealeze that works great, but only get it out when doing a high volume of brass in that session.
 
Made my own with a Bomb air cylinder, 12v gear motor from Amazon and a time relay.Lets me do rimmed cases easily.

I had few annealing machines and almost burned my garage with a ton of reloading powder. Switch to AMP first-generation and would never go back. It takes a fraction of time and is more consistent than anything else out there. Consistency = Accuracy.
 
Annealing: [email protected] (Salt bath) For about $200.00 you can be in with a annealing equipment. They have everything, but the melting pot, which you kept for Lee's I got two of them for my boys. Ballistic Recreations were great to work with. You have to work with it outside.
 
I researched, read, made cost comparisons, read the thread mentioned several times and in the end, I spent the money to get the AMP. For me the the benefit that outweighed all others was ease and safety of use. I don't have to worry about flames, fumes, pets or kids with the AMP. It's like the Ron Popeil of annealizers. Set it and forget it. Literally takes seconds to switch calibers. I annealed 500 Blackout, 1000 5.56 and 120 6.5CR last weekend and while it took my 2 hours, I know that each piece of brass was done consistently and specifically for that lot's specifications.
 
If it uses torches with a timing setup then the performance will be the same with all the machines. The only thing more consistent are the induction machines.

You might look at the Giraud annealer. I have one and it works very well.

Good to know that production you can get out of that AMP. I had and will continue to set my sights on that. Thanks for the input.
