Gas Vs Induction Annealing

[ELR LVR]

I have been annealing since the late 60's, and currently do 2000 to 3000 cases a year, all with a torch.
I have never ruined a case in all those years. It must be a very hard thing to do.

You cant OVER anneal
it can't get any softer than soft
Unless you start melting the brass or anneal down in the head
Nothing wrong with using a propane torch

This morning I loaded up and went to test if there were any differences between my brass that had been annealed by gas vs the new AMP Annealer. I shot 6 rounds on a steel plate at 500 yards to foul in the barrel and get a zero. My first group was shot with brass annealed with Gas, then I shot a group annealed with the AMP. The results from this test showed the AMP process works better but not conclusive to just one group each and one test session. The group shot from gas annealed cases measured in at .9?? And the group from the AMP annealing was a .5?? Also in this test I noticed the ES was 3 fps lower from the AMP annealed cases vs the gas annealed.
Each group was 5 shots from this test and more testing will be done soon to verify the purchase was money well spent or not.

I would think that any tiny improvement would get lost among all the variables. Your wasting your time trying to prove a difference. No doubt AMPS is the most accurate and consistent,. Just keep doing it.

Appears Burstfire is working on an induction setup on their unit, they were just sending pics of it out, using what appears to be the same feed setup as on the flame annealers they sell. No specific details on it yet, just the announcement they are working on it, doing it, whatever. Guess it's hurry up and wait to see what features it has, how it'll work, what it will or won't do, and a price, spare elements and whateverelses are involved for maintenance.

Must be some pretty smart brass to know the difference between a flame and an induction coil when the temps are 700-750 degrees. LMAO

I sure miss David and James!
