Great tip for the frugal among us....probably all the shooters.gary0529 said:A tip for those of us who use any of the propane annealing systems.
Instead of buying replacement propane bottles, you can buy a transfer valve and fill your small bottle from your larger LP tank from either your barbecue tank or as in my case, the 50# bottle I use to run the "torpedo" heater in my workshop.
Think I picked up the valve at a Tractor Supply store for 12 or 14 dollars and have used it scores of times to refill the little ones.

What is the price of a Bench Source annealer?Forester said:I have had the Bench Source machine for almost a year now and done probably 2000 cases so far. .204Ruger, .308Win, 7mmRem Mag, 7-300WSM, 243WSSM, 6BR, 270Win...you can switch between one case and another in 5 minutes. I could not be any more pleased with the unit.
It has led to more consistent velocities and better groups,it is so quick to do I just anneal after every firing now.
