If you rephrase the question to which one do you use and love then Bench Source. I can't say it is the best but am quite sure I am not looking for another!

Your eyeball and hands with a drill set at 60rpm's ot there about. All cases aren't equal, some need more time and some need less time in the flame to hit the correct temp. Adam

I have a ballistics edge and like it very much.

The Best one ?????? Don't know. I bought a Giraud a few months ago and really like it. Never used a Bench Source but never heard anything bad about them. I personally did not like the manual way, it simply took too much of my time and I didn't think I was consistent enough to achieve the results I wanted. I didn't want to mess with 2 torches and I am not one to sit and feed it manually. So I went with the Giraud and am quite happy. It has a touchy gas valve but it becomes easier to adjust the more you use it. I really like how consistent the end result is and enjoy being able to do other things close by. Some times I'll sit and watch it just for the enjoyment and if I need a break it's a good excuse. Make sure you sort your brass , Lapua is thicker neck and requires a little more heat or a little longer dwell than Winchester or RP brass. I use SSM to clean my brass and put it in 50 round plastic ammo blocks and that makes it so easy to load the hopper. It' a good machine if it fits your needs and wants. Happy Shooting Bob
