MUSKY Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi all Just wondered if anyone is using one of the above for annealing there brass and what your thoughts are on it? I'm wanting to get an automated annealer so i can start annealing my cases. Would love to be that well off that i could just blow some £££'s on a AMP annealer but simply couldnt justify it. Or has anyone got any other recommendations or words of wisdom? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 This ( also a thread about it a couple of post below). Has been working well for me for about 2 years. Difficult for me to justify buying anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I would concur with the post above ☝️ I got one of those annealers from Lubo a few years ago and it’s great. It just works! I have .308w and .338L discs and I anneal .223ai, 6.5x47, .303, 30-06, .300wm and .338Norma Mag without issue. I like to do a bulk batch and it’s very quick and efficient.

Popsbengo Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Molten salt, quick, cheap, excellent repeatability and stability of temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMLE Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have one that works ok. I seem to get consistent results but the speed control with nylon wheels is a little coarse. Ultimately you get what you pay for and I’d describe the case life as the Ford Escort of annealing machines, it does what it says on the tin but not with much style. I have a friend who has designed and built his own version with better quality components, I can put you in touch with him via pm as he’d happily make another I’m sure which would still be a Ford, but more like a Granada rather than an Escort....

Richiew Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hi all was reading the Brian litz books regarding cases and accuracy and it seems not much difference after the first couple of firings for 308 etc . Regularily get upto 20 reloads in 308 then ditch the lot and buy new cases . You could get lots of new sets of cases for the price of an AMP . Only my take on things / opinion . Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsbengo Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 20 reloads without annealing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 oh yes . Can’t anneal as don’t have an annealer . Looking at the results I would be happy with sub 10 sd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 If only things where that simple 😂👍 Like to me is like asking myself why do I need a chronograph when the MV is printed on the box . If your happy with that ,go for it 👍 of course this is just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikktac Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I use Caselife and it is ok when you get to know it. I had to upgrade bottom wheel to aluminium because nylon was melting if you doing a lot of brass ( and I was initially). Upgrade cost me six pack of Guinness for my mate to make two new wheels (308 and pistol) 😁 I use Tempilaq to get the right temperature.
