annealing machine?

[wyomingblizzard]

I have not been annealing cases as of yet. But with a new rifle on the way, I will need start. What annealing machine do you prefer. The cartridges I will be using it on will be from 308 on the small end to a 408 based case. I have looked at sevral and would like opinions from those of you useing them, before purchasing one. Thanks for the input.

I use a Ken Light machine and love it. I have no experience with others.
Money well spent if you buy expensive brass or shoot odd calibers

It (can be) as simple and inexpensive as you like, or a costly investment.
All do the same thing, anneal the brass.
A straight foward fairly inexpenxive system would be (anneal rite).
Check out the website.

I just did as I'd never heard of Anneal Rite. Interesting little setup & quite cheap.

Annealing is like any other step in the reloading and case prep process, do it correctly and be very consistent for best results

I have had the Ken light but got rid of it and bought the bench source one. The bench source is way better as its completely adjustable for the amount of time the flame hits the case and you don't need separate plates for different calibers.

Don't laugh, a long socket on a drill works for me but I do small amounts (150 at a time)

Was thinking of just such a poor man's setup for my next reloading bench addition lol
