annealing

Hey All, I am new to this site and looking forward to learning from you all and hopfully contributing to certain topics when I can. My first question is what temperature do you recommand annealing 338 Lapua and 6.5 creedmoor brass? For .338 Lapua I have Hornady and Lapua brass For 6.5 I also...

My primary goal in annealing is to get consistent full length sizing. What I have noticed with certain sets of brass is that after annealing 70% of cases will be +/- .0005" of my target. 15% will be stubborn and not size and 15% will under size by .002-.004. As an experiment I kept annealing...

Should you anneal new brass? Why or why not?

So since annealing seems to be an ever increasingly popular topic with long range hunting and precision reloading, I figured I post my thoughts on it. So, when I first started getting into annealing, I did the socket, drill, and torch method. At the time, it did seem to work, but I never really...

Hi All. I'm considering manufacturing and selling machined aluminum wheels for the annealeez annealer. I'm making this post to gauge interest/demand to determine if the job will be worth running. How many of you would be interested or know someone who would be interested in purchasing a set. I'm...

I finished a second study on Salt Bath Annealing. This time I'm comparing SBA with Flame Annealing focusing on preserving the brass. Also testing a lower temperature differential for SBA (500C) versus what I recommend and used on my first study (550C)...

Hey guys, I stumbled onto this video and I wanted to hear your opinion on this method of annealing.

Until a couple months ago I had not heard of this. I start this thread in hopes of saving others from the trouble, confusion, wasted time trying to figure out what was wrong and cost of this mistake. While not an expert on this, I’m learning quickly and hope others will lend their expertise to...

Hi All, I'm looking into annealing machines and have a few questions. 1) What is generally considered the "Best" annealer and why? 2) Is Induction heat better than MAPP gas or propane flames? And is there a measurable performance increase? 3) If I wanted the "Best" annealer, what features...

I have periodically annealed brass for a tactical competition rifle every 3-4 firings. Now I am starting to delve into LR/ELR shooting with a 7mm Remington Magnum, and soon a 300 Winchester Magnum. Based on your experience, what would your recommendation be for intervals between annealing...
