I just got a BURST FIRE GEN 2 Annealing machine for Christmas. Just used it last week for the first time. Tests on 30-06 Rem. Brass. Setting on 50 and the color changed on the case neck and shoulder, then on 30-06 matched Federal cases, and set it on 58 and 60. Cases changed color ever so slightly. Must look close to even see it. So probably not annealing to degree( No Pun ) I should, but I will anneal again after I fire this batch. I will go slowly, and this machine is great and allows me excellent control. Thet have a great video on U tube.

I just built a cheap induction annealer. I have a flame annealer similar to annealeez, home built, and it works well enough. I just don't get the consistency I want as much as what an induction produces. So for 220.00 I decided to give it a go. It's power is AC source to a loop timer that counts time on and time off. The induction heater is a amazon buy that is a hand held unit that I connected to a raised board. I can disconnect to use on projects if needed, like stuck bolts etc. Anyway, messing with it yesterday it seems to be a nice option if you like tinker with crap.

AMP annealer every time. Used to do it every 3rd firing with Annealeaz because it was a PIA to set up just right. The AMP is so easy and it makes no difference if I have 500 pieces of brass to anneal or 50 set up time is the same.
How long do you leave them in the salt bath? And do you quench in water?
The answer is long, so I rec you look up You Tube videos on how to.
I do it after every 4 firings, and it definitely extends brass life. I would do it more often if it weren't such a hassle.
Nice set-up.....next number is 60 .....after 59 comes 60! So the second 59...would be 62...if that helps!

6 or 7 seconds about and yes I drop them in water. This aids in removing the residual salt residue.
Unfortunately, the guy at Ballistic Recreations has decided to shut down his business due to declining interest. That is too bad, because he was selling an excellent kit at a very reasonable price ($130 US, if my memory serves me). I've used mine for 3-4 years and it still works great.For those contemplating the salt bath. Good info.
