[QUOTE="geocodyrgia, post: 1570536, member: 98212"] I picked up this kit for Christmas last year and have used it a couple times now. MUCH better/easier than the timed propane torch (probably lost 10 cases to over-annealed collapsed necks) and while the startup is more expensive, I think over the long run it will be better and cheaper. If nothing else I only got a couple annealing sessions out of a small propane canister while I think a single batch of salt will last me a VERY long time. I got the holders for both 30-06 and magnum sized cases and they seem to work very well. One piece of advice, don’t put the whole thing of salt in to melt it down. It will fit but I would have done better with only 3/4 of a container in a small Lee lead melter. Also, take a look at Hatch’s PID unit on the CastBoolits website for automated temp control. I plan on using it for both my lead pot during casting and this salt bath during annealing. [/QUOTE]
