Annealing is so easy my 4 year old can do it.

Awesome. Been toying with the idea of making one. I talked with one of the electrician/controls guy and he said that would be a fun little project.

Yeah there’s one on yt with two guys names. It’s a diy induction annealer. This ones very nice. It analyzes the brass and generates a power code for your exact brass

that looks like the one we want to build.

I looked at doing it but it was above my head. Theres a parts list on a forum if you search the GinErick annealer on google


He is an awesome programmer and loves projects like that. Will definitely look into that.
 
But who wants to touch every piece of brass to anneal it?
Very time consuming.

Would it not be better to fill it and forget it?
 
I ordered an inductive annealer from Fluxeon back in June. I got a shipping notice 12 days ago, but all that had been done was a shipping label created. I emailed them yesterday, they said it would go out today. We will see.

Yes, it would. I may have to do this to mine (whenever I get it).

I almost ordered one of the Annie annealers and build a stand for it. But I’ve got some friends who’ve been waiting forever.

Well that lost me. ??

Dunno why. It is not time consuming at all.

Most folks that anneal brass aren’t annealing in great quantities. And they sure as hell aren’t annealing 5.56/.223 range ammo. Well, let me say that I’m not doing that and won’t. It isn’t worth my time.

A couple or three hundred rounds of precision rifle ammo is a different story.

Sorry if I’m missing your point.

Oh so you don't anneal much.

I do several hundred rounds at a time. And am busy reloading while the machine does the work for me.

To each their own. Cool machine.
 
Now thats a machine.
Whats it like, 2500$?
Annealer is $1400 amp mate is like $400 then you need a dillon case feeder and your ready. One thing to remember is this is an induction anneler and is much more precise than the flame ones. I could've bought an anbealeze for like $300 and then had to worry about the gas and open flame and how long to leave it in the flame. The AMP has computer software that analyzes your specific brass and create a corresponding heat code.

Now I feel dumb.

Actually I’ve been thinking about setting up 100 pieces that I never anneal and see how they perform vs 100 pieces that are annealed after every firing. Or maybe just setup at the range and keep loading the same few pieces all day and see how they perform after 10-20 firings.
 
Nice. Let us know how you like it!
I like it!

Once I got it setup and tried a few cases with tempilaq to find the right setting, I knocked out 250 cases in minutes. Much quicker than the salt bath method, less mess, less tedious, etc. I knocked out these cases in less time than it takes to warm up the salt bath to the correct temp, and when done, all I have to do is turn off the power switch.

I’m thinking of how I can automate it, and have in mind a variable speed motor with a couple of cams to operate the case feed, case eject, etc. but even without that it goes quickly feeding by hand.

You’re not dumb, you’re one of the smartest guys I know.

I just decided a few years ago that for my kind of shooting, it wasn’t worth my time. To each, his own I suppose.

AMP did a video kinda like that. I'll see if I can find it. They were doing benchers shooting though and looking at groups where they annealed every time and when they didn't. Its my understanding the annealing every time helps keep a consistent neck tension which is desired in LR shooting. I'm not sure you'd see any difference in an AR15.

I sure would like to see the results of such a test;)

Heres the video I was talking about
 
There is a lot of research out there on this. I'm admittedly a novice but got the parts off Amazon for about $50 when I started using my Creedmoor a few years ago. Gas based and gravity to pick the next case one at a time and roll them in the cake pan I cut down and notched before dropping into a pan. Pretty simple stuff really when you get the timing on the speed dial set up. I think they are close enough that the 30-30 cases would fit on the shelf and would need to adjust the speed again but the 30 are cheap and seem much more durable than the 6.5 is. I just wanted some extra life and consistency for the cases. I'm a LONG way from match loading.
It is nice that using careful and consistent process makes the rounds pretty accurate to a couple hundred yards for even a novice. I chose reload because it cuts the price 1/2 to 1/3 of box price.
Anneal is hopefully just stretching that brass life for me a bit more and keeping price further down. If I was better, it should add more consistent neck tension and all that along with good match loading processes. One day. Very cheap old guy. Salt and Induction sounded very interesting as well but complicated and expensive.
I knew an old(er) guy in Oklahoma that spun them one at a time on a jig and dropped them into a bath. After years and years of being a reloader people like that are artists when they are good. He was also really really cheap even by my estimation though. Scary smart but his pennies squeeked. LOL. I believe he was also the one who told me a certain black sharpie temp tested close enough to the temp paint on his 308 brass that he uses to get to the correct temp.
