Another tip for the Annealeez, if you haven’t figured it out already, is to use scrap brass and Tempilaq to get the flame and timer set right before going into production
.....I've since done a couple mods on my machine, but can't say enough good about it.
This isn't my video, but I did the same mod he did to the torch head holder, and same use of the drywall mud pan for a catch tray.Would you mind elaborating on your mods?
things that I want but don't really need
I've posed this same question on an M14 specific forum and it's been recommended not to bother annealing the LC brass for my M1A at all because of the inherently short case life (5 or fewer loadings) and I'm not looking for an additional 0.1 to 0.2 MOA.
Do the M14/M1A guys here agree or not?
Correct and good catch. I should have noted that in my earlier reply. The new torch holder (an aluminum turn buckle) is what he puts on them now.Thanks MDof2. Just to let prospective Annealeez purchasers know, the unit is now supplied with that same torch head holder shown in the video. Also, if anybody has an older unit with the old holder, I believe the new holder can be purchased for $10.
Is there anything to be gained by annealing fully processed brass (LC) that's waiting to be primed or is the benefit really only gained by annealing before sizing and further processing?
