lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 10, 2022 I anneal every firing. Keeps brass necks consistent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fern Report post Posted August 10, 2022 I recently ordered a ugly annealer and love it. Annealed all my 204 brass and will be doing 22-250 next. Look into it and it was even on Amazon. I like that the wheels are not plastic like some and is very sturdy. some people complained that it didn’t come with a torch but that to me crazy that someone would expect it to come with it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhunter-tw Report post Posted August 10, 2022 I’ll check them out; the bench source is a bit too expensive for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhunter-tw Report post Posted August 10, 2022 I noticed when I attempted to neck down from 6.5 to 6mm the shoulder cracked right on the corner; im assuming annealing will prevent this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSR Report post Posted August 10, 2022 I use one of these. It was pretty easy to assemble and works well. You can dial into within 1/100th of second. If you are doing 100's of cases at a time it would be very annoying. I usually only work with 50 pieces of brass at a time for each gun I reload for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted August 13, 2022 That ugly annealer looks interesting. The main thing I wanted was for my cases to spin in the flame. that design seems like it would do well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
