What annealing machines are you all using ?

[Hoot]

I am currently using Bench Source but may try Hoot's Induction Annealer; Thanks buddy!!

Having worked in Electronics for 47 years, I made one change to this person's design. Instead of switching the annealer's AC using the timer's output, I wired in one of these Solid State Relay to turn on the power to the annealer and use the output from the timer to switch on the SSR. Less wear and tear on the timer's relay contacts. Simple mod.

Thinking of buying the Annealeez machine. Not sure what extra wheel I should use for 6.5 PRC and 7mm WSM ?

I use and like the Mike’s Reloading Bench annealer. I see no reason to look for anything else.

I see no reason to look for anything else.

Unless you don't want open flame. Or, like someone else's design better.

Got calipers ?

from their web site

Longer than 2.5″ with a diameter between 0.5″ and 0.625″ Large Case Kit

Between 1.25″ and 2.0″ long with a diameter less than 0.5″ Small Case Kit

Shorter than 2.0″ with a diameter between 0.5″ and 0.625″ Super Short Magnum Kit

Connected to a 20# propane tank. Simple and fast.

First Annealeez, now AMP worth every penny. I don't like having an open flame in my home near my reload room, some will say many things about me for this but after working fires for 35 years, yea, AMP.

Exactly the same for me I started with an annealeez I didn’t like the flame constantly changing don’t like gas containers in my house I now have an amp and I’m very pleased with it

Didn’t say you wouldn’t find reason to look for something else. I said I have no reason to look for something else.

I use a homemade one. I'm sure these plans are posted in a lot of places, but the guy who started it all is from Australia. I use an adjustable regulator on the 20 lb tank so flame control is good, and repeatable, so setting up each time is about 3 test cases and I'm running.

$75 DIY Automatic Case Annealer Project Complete! Plans...

With my new wildcat endeavors, being able to anneal cases is a must so I did some research and came across some plans from an Australian shooting forum, so I decided to put one together. I'm just waiting on some tempilaq to get the time right for the various calibers I will use this for, but...

No, it's not picked up unless you nudge the brass downward while the notch is below a piece.

I'll PM you a video.

I have been using the Annealeez just about since it first came out and since I anneal after each firing it has been used a lot and I have not had any of the brass fail to feed. Since I use mainly 6mmBR and 6.5x47 and some .308 I can't speak for other size brass.

I use this one.

I asked Annealeez if they knew of a mod for my issue, sine they’ve redesigned the hopper in later revisions. They never replied.

Check it out. Cost to build is around $350 to $400. Video is on page one, Schematic on page 110 (schematic was deleted from page 1 by Accurate Shooter, during a software upgrade)

Induction brass annealer redux

My first annealer was built with the help of hollywood. He worked long and hard on finding the right coil size. He also came up with the water cooled coil and the radiator/pump system for it. I added the timer system, trap door, and voltage/current monitor meter. Together we came up with what...

Mine does not like a full hopper either so I just load one tier to resolve that issue.

Home made with one torch, 6" rotating drum and rotating brass feeder.
I am thrifty when it come to spending money. If I can not justify the cost and if it is something that I can make then I am all in. Personal preference is to spend the money on equipment and new rifle and gear.

I built one similar but not that refined!

Just came out with the new EP integrations "EP 2.0 annealer", that can easily anneal from 300blk to 50bmg without having to add OR remove any parts & adjusts from cartridge to cartridge in under 30 seconds. Crazy easy, and affordable annealing shipped for $268 lower 48 states. We just uploaded them to the website and are selling out fast. Keep an eye out on website if you miss your opportunity.

Amp, too easy

Thought I would ask, is the AMP as easy as it looks in their video. It shows you sacrifice one case to get temp readings, and then your good to go.

Yes it's extremely easy, clean and safe.

Homemade, Teele1 built it for me as a gift.

Thanks Jim Carr.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Homebuilt water-cooled Induction unit. Amp however is only 20 minutes from me here in Auckland NZ.

AMP one day maybe....

I hate to ask questions like this but since you live so close, is this a well respected company over there?
