[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 1570556, member: 57231"] I find it easier to run smaller batches, say 150 or less, through the salt anneal process compared to the Giraud flame anneal process. It takes no real effort to plug in the melt pot and let it start to melt the salt. Once the bath is melted, you can place the tool and the thermocouple and wait for the temp to settle. With the flame, it takes more interactive time to get the flame set up where you want it. If I have a bigger batch, say 200 or more, then the Giraud is superior since you can batch feed. So the salt is very easy to set-up, but you do have to mark time and dunk the cases interactively, with the flame, it takes time to set up the process but then you batch feed and relax. Both methods serve a purpose. [/QUOTE]
