EP Integrations 2.0 annealing machine

On average how long will annealing extend the life of your brass for calibers such as 300wsm 308w and 35Rem?

This is my first annealing endeavor so I don't have a track record yet. But what I have seen on other threads is it makes it last at least until the primer pocket opens up. It also makes for a little better accuracy from the more stable neck tension.

Thanks for your reply.
I am aware of the accuracy benefits of annealing, was just wondering about the possible financial benefit of annealing. I posted a thread here asking the same question.

Is it propane, or butane?
I have seen both mentioned here.

I think it is propane. It is the same little bottle of gas a plumber uses to solder copper pipe with.

I recently started annealing. It has made a big improvement in seating consistency. Some 4x fired brass that felt like it took 100psi to seat now seat light an smooth after annealing.

AMP - $1500
EP - $268
Hand torch, socket, and extension sitting in shop - priceless.
I think I'm gonna invent a shoelace tying machine and charge $1200
