[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 2097795, member: 89878"] I recently purchased an annealeez. The machine is well built and functions as intended. I am still testing the results at different temperatures/run times. I started with 750 tempilaq and worked up from there in 2% settings on the machine. I shot for groups with my magnetospeed on and found no changes at that low of a heat, if anything my groups and SD/ES opened up. The more reading I do the more I think the dull red glow people might be right. Annealing is a factor of heat over time. At just hitting 750 you may be stress relieving but I do not think we are annealing. Lots of information out there, AMP has some of the best studies which suggest a higher peak temp is needed. I loaded up 8 sets of 8 from no annealing to dull red glow and will shoot them this weekend. I bring this up because salt bath annealing was mentioned, I do not think it can reach temps required to anneal the neck without overheating the base. AMP has published information on their website stating the same. [/QUOTE]
