Which annealer?

[Dave Marshall]

I think the issue is with some people want to run one in where their reloading stuff is. This is not a good idea having an open flame near powder storage. I reload indoors at my house but my Bench source machine is in the garage, no fear of doing it indoors but not anywhere near my loading bench. Crazy thing is my wife also don't want it on the dining room table either....go figure.

I just set myself up at the other end of the basement from my reloading bench, put a movie on the iPad. Feed the hopper, adjust the flame and watch movies my wife can’t stand. Lol.

I’ll second the Annie Annealer. I had a few hiccups when I first got it however they were pretty good at taking care of me. If I had the money I’d get an AMP but for the amount of shooting I do I cannot justify that kind of investment. A lot of people have good success with flame type annealing however I just cannot believe you will get the same consistency as an induction annealer. Just my opinion.

That's why you anneal in batches. I normally anneal every 4th reload and I keep my brass separate until I have the whole batch ready to go then set up my machine and run em all, flame don't change unless you let the gas run out...

well I’ve never owned an annealer but my shooting buddy does and he’s always just annealed my brass for me and I trimmed his brass for him. Unfortunately we have moved slightly further apart and we have both becoming overwhelming busy and it’s time to buy my own. I don’t mind spending the money on the amp if it’s absolutely the way to go, I’ll just save up for it, or should I get like an annealez or something along that line.

AMP...the very best without question

I really like my Bench Source. Does a great job and fast and easy. I honestly think an AMP would slow me down

I'm sure the Bench Source is a great machine. But the AMP "slowing you down" is a ridiculous statement. Nothing is faster or more consistently accurate than the AMP machine. That's what you pay a high price for.

If you think annealing is important, save up and buy the AMP.
