[QUOTE="Accuracyman, post: 2348577, member: 112298"] Petey308 I appreciate you taking the time to post this informative information. It appears you have used every method with the exception of salt bath annealing. I went straight to induction annealing mainly because I didn’t want open flames in my shop. I know people use them effectively but I prefer induction for safety and repeatability. I chose to build my unit instead of purchasing one to get familiar with the benefits and basically prove to myself it is worth the effort. I now believe the effort is justified and will probably invest in the AMP machine. I do recognize the effort these chaps have put into the research and design of their product. I do recommend people who can, build an induction annealer to get their feet wet if they are not sure if the investment is worth it for them. Like Petey308 mentioned the Gina-Eric annealer has been built and used by a lot of reloaders successfully. Mine is similar to that one but is my own design. They work well and do not cost a lot. The challenge with any method is getting your brass annealed properly. Not enough heat doesn’t help and over annealing is worse. That is what sets the AMP machine apart from the rest. They have done the research! [/QUOTE]
