247sniper Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi guys, me and a friend are looking at getting our rifle brass annealing. Who do you use to anneal your cases professionally fellas ? Cheers all Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106uk Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Do it yourself, socket, drill, gas torch and a timer And use Temipilac to get the timing/temperature right, if they glow red they're toast!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I used to think that this was a good idea - until I had a play with the AMP induction annealer. Have a look at their website - they have an annealing schedule of hundreds of cases, including many wildcats. www.ampannealing.com The 308 Win for example has 15 programmes depending on manufacturer. If you're neck-turning, there are another 45 programmes depending on the amount you are turning off. It makes you see how hit 'n'miss the gas-torch/drill/stop-watch method actually is.

justin credible Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Wow what a great machine!!! I know you get what you pay for but ...$995 stateside or £1125 over here!!!!! WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
247sniper Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Bloody hell, impressive bit of kit may be but unless your doing in as a business or doing thousands then far to expensive. I've done some brass myself with a drill and gas tourch etc. Not sure how consistent that was is if your looking for presision. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hey 247 i dont think it could be any worse than not annealed , must admit i need a proper machine but keep meaning to send it all off to someone for better consistancy . The drill timer works good enough but is slightly crude ... taa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've bought a third share in one - makes it similar cost to the blow-torch models - and you don't need to buy gas or paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor calls Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 AMP really is a good machine, but all these programs are a bit of a marketing trick. See, they have different programs for different makes, but even the same companies make cases with brass of different proportions of zinc and copper. They also vary in neck thickness. The AMP relies on these proportions and neck thickness standards to calculate the exact time, but as I mentioned the variables are to many from batch to batch and that is why these programs are just useless!
