AMP annealer question

Bigeclipse · 2024-12-13T10:40:50-0600

I have an AMP annealer and its been great throughout the years. However, i just came across a concern. See picture below. This is the most silver color brass has ever come out. It is starline brass. Ive never used them before. I have annealed lapua, nosler, and hornady brass and none of them have come close to this color. I used Aztec mode on 2 pieces to analyze and both results yielded a 161 result. Thoughts? Should i proceed? Thanks!

I've had it look like that. It shouldn't be a problem. I've had no color on alpha brass and nice color on Nosler and starline. Still shoots

I would double-take on that. Especially set in between a non-annealed case and one nuked by the Aztec program. 161 seems high but if two cases gave you a similar result, rock on.

If it were me, I'd toss a few cases that look like that in corn cob or walnut media, and if it came off in under an hour chalk it up as a fluke of metallurgy and be fine with it.

Yeah, that was my concern. It's the highest number I have had but I tried at 140 and it was still very silver so I'm thinking just how starline brass is.

Also did you make sure your code was correct?

I think you'll be fine. This is Hornady frontier ammo

from the factory.

Yes. I ran it two times separated by an hour just to be sure.

I have Starline brass that did the same thing. It's fine so far.
Probably the make up of there brass.

Different brands of brass will come out different even some lots will change as well. Maybe double check there website for more info and unfortunately I haven't dealt with any starline brass
