[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1182812, member: 33822"] It is slightly different... rather than a large drum to spin the case I use a small shaft with two silicone o-rings to spin the case. I will upload a video tonight after I get home from work. And Tempilaq works quite well in my opinion. It's all about incorporating some type of process control. I only use Tempilaq on my test cases (old shot-out brass) to set my timing interval. I think it's an excellent way to incorporate process control considering the cost and ease of use. Even if it's not as accurate as a higher cost alternative method to determine various temperatures around the brass case, the #1 goal is consistency, which is what drove me to building my own annealing machine. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have yet to find any compelling research (such as temperature vs time graphs for annealing cartridge brass) that supports the need to use any type of super accurate temperature measurement system. The most compelling evidence I have to date is empirical. My loads are now shooting with ES in single digits when I anneal and incorporate a few other methods to my reloading process, compared to ES up in the 50's or higher before I started chasing low ES muzzle velocities.
