ButterBean's Take On Annealing

 

[HVGBDT]

When i see an add that perks my interest, i always look to see if ButterBean has commented on it!! Love your advice, comments & especially your respect for others! Thank you!!
Christ was born on this day!! Merry Christmas to all!!

I started out with stacking hex nuts together and welding them together with a cut off bolt for the drill to attach to. I was going to get salt bath but after watching ppl anneal with it and as clumsy as I can get I decided against it because I don't want an extremely hot liquid get spilled on my kid, wife or me!! I found a Annie annealer for sale on the forums and bought it……I love it, it was a little more expensive than the diy one listed before but not amp $$$$$ expensive.
In the process of building my my new reloading room in the new house.
I live in central Missouri otherwise.

@ButterBean….Annealeez, Benchsource or AMP?

I have upgraded to an Anealeez for the simple fact that I got a great deal on it

 

[Alberta Wexit]

Very good video Butterbean. I have used the torch method and turning in my fingers. Would love a more expensive unit but you brought to light what is necessary. Thanks. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I am planning to sell a Anealeez annealer if you are interested.

Interested…

And I just did 200+ 7.62, 100 338 Winmag & 50 of 300 Savage using a socket and Bernz-O-Matic.
An annealeze sounds great, just don't have the space.

Couldn't of asked for a clearer more detailed video. Thanks

I dont think it takes up that much space. I just put it on the shelf when not using it sideways and it takes up about 6" of shelf space. I dont anneal often, just when I have a bunch of brass to do. I often will have 3-4 firings if I anneal at all. My 223 I anneal probably the most because that is the only necks I have ever split. I just did half my non-prepped 223 today. I saw where someone was saying they melt the plastic Annealeze wheels and someone is making aluminum replacement. I just ran 30lbs of 223 start to finish with no stops and I took the temps of the wheels immediately after the last case and the torch flame disappeared/shut off. I don't know what the plastic melts at and I would bet it is more than 114 degrees in a 70 degree room. I included photos of the brass to see what it looked like. I am not an expert nor get all wrapped up in tiny details, and it looks good enough to me. For size reference that is a RCBS Auto Press (same size as Rock Chucker on bench) and AA battery charger behind it. I run it right under a shelf about 8" above it.
