[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2348741, member: 85874"] I always find these type of posts interesting! The OP tries to sell us on the latest or most expensive equipment and then justifies it by demonizing the old or commonly used equipment. AMP annealed brass is no better than any other annealed brass. A torch is just as safe as cooking on a gas stove. An AMP annealer can cause a fire as well. Most home fires are electrical in nature. For goodness sakes a flame can be consistance for hours if you use a small bulk tank instead of a 1 lb cylinder. My Mikes reloading machine can anneal brass every bit as consistent as a AMP and is just as easy to set up. Load 50 cases in it and I can do other brass prep while it anneals them. Yes the AMP is a beautiful machine and as a Mechanical Engineer I get it. But annealing brass does not need to cost north of $2000 with a feeder, to do a good job. I will add that with a little common sense using a torch is no more of a fire danger than a AMP machine which anneals by getting HOT! Anyone who owns a AMP annealer I am happy for you! It is not necessary to anneal brass with good quality results. [/QUOTE]
