Annealing made perfect

[tvfreakarms]

What are your thoughts on this annealing machine?
I'm not a reloader. Maybe some day. I just heard about annealing about couple of yrs ago.

This machines seems interesting. But for higher volume annealing this seems a bit slow compared other annealers I've seen out there.

I don't own an annealing machine. For the kind of shooting I do, IMHO they arent necessary.

Annealing seems to makes sense if you're a rifle shooter and you:

1) Are a precision shooter, in which case you're typically obsessive about details.

2) Shoot rare calibers or very high quality brass that's very expensive and you shoot those calibers a lot, in which case being able to anneal the cases means they will last quite a bit longer.

3) Absolutely have to have one.

I'm not a pistol shooter but I'm pretty sure no one anneals pistol cases because they seem to be able to last forever, at least in practical terms.

I've accumulated a few hundred .243 and .30-06 cases and those will last me a long time, especially if I don't start shooting the .243 more often. I figure I can get about 2500 cartridges out of my .30-06 stash and maybe 3000 out of my .243 stockpile. I might shoot 300 rounds per year of each one.

I have thousands of Lake City .223 cases plus a few hundred Norma cases plus others. Even if I got four reloads out of each one, at the rate I shoot .223 they'll last me for a decade or more. If I need more .223 cases, I can have them for the cost of picking them up and cleaning them up.

If you aren't reloading now, then an annealer is far from the first thing you ought to be buying.

Makes sense. Not looking to buy but curious.

If you email them, the owner probably will offer you 10% discount. The last discount code was SHOTSHOW

It works quite fast and consistently. After Aztec calibration, you can also manually fine adjust it to your liking. The pain of high cost goes away quickly.

I attempted the cheap flaming method for 338 brass and had zero confidence in my ability of not making mistakes. Another cheap way to avoid annealing is to buy neck bushing with various sizes so you can chase the neck tension. ~$100 for each caliber.

Man, I love mine. So far, no problems and pretty fast and easy. Im happy with it. YMMV.
