Reloading Course here - impactshooting.teachable.com/p/reloading-for-precision

[@ArchetypeCS]

Is it a digital course with online videos, or are you shipping out blue ray discs?

[@thomaswaterman5081]

Anyone have a coupon code for the course?

[@keitha.9788]

The Rolls Royce of brass case annealers. Could you show me the Ford or Chevy version?????

[@jackdundon2261]

What's my propain tortch (the one I reload from the 5 gallon tank).... That be the Ford? Hyundai would be the lighter in a tweekers pocket.

[@uzomad]

@@jackdundon2261 Yep

[@mikesheely5599]

Nice way of putting it. I was gonna ask for my 12min back.

[@bm.w1135]

Great Course!!! Piet really does a great job going through everything. Highly recommend

[@Apollogamer242]

Congratulations on the presentation

[@Ocdoutdoors]

That's definitely a nice simple annealer. I haven't looked into the price but I'm sure quality comes with a cost. I had built my own annealer using a rotisserie motor and a small cake pan.. had everything I needed to build it in the garage minus the cake pan.. total cost $5 for the pan.

[@reececulver3606]

Once my new chassis and scope arrive, I'm buying your reloading course! Looks super easy to follow for a noob like me 👌

[@aaronwalser438]

I keep that analyzed brass and make a label with the code on it and place it into a bin for future reference. Love the AMP! Great videos and keep up the great work!

[@luxsteelshooters]

Our AMP Annealer arrived Yesterday. The best repeatable solution on the market.

[@aminkhashm]

nice video! do you anneal after sizing brass or before sizing? do you anneal clean brass or dirty? do you anneal every shooting cycle or every other one? tanx.

[@kynot61]

Have you thought of comparing case life with non annealed cases? I had a 338 Lapua that I was up to 15 reloads on each case I had (only had a limited number of Lapua cases....) and they were still driving tacks and showing no signs of cracking or damage to the cases and had never been annealed. I have similar results on my 308 using Norma brass. Wish I could send you pics of the groups that are coming out of my 308 with that non annealed brass....

[@gazzore7339]

I’d like to see that comparison too.

[@jmkhenka]

I only anneal to make my brass last longer. I have a 6.5 Grendel and brass for its expensive (approx $2 a piece) and there is no factory loaded ammo to use. I had a split neck in a case, so since then i have annealed them ever 2-3 firings. you can feel quite easily if a case needs annealing when trimming them. Hard brass tend to flake and feel much more brittle and fresh/good brass makes long strands and is more soft.

[@justinvanlandingham4149]

Just started watching your KZbin and I’m really enjoying the shooting and all the info. Just curious if your opinion I’m building and rifle off a Remington 700 platform with defiance action 6.5 creed and trying to decide if a carbon fiber wrapped barrel would be good or not. Thinking to prs matches in the future

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Hard pass on the Carbon barrel for match shooting. You want weight in this game

[@christopherfreeman3095]

Yep. Go for something with a straight taper too, such as M24, MTU, HV, etc profile. Will help keep the balance at the front of the magazine

[@johanbriel5237]

Piet hoeveel keer herlaai jy doppe totdat jy hulle weggooi of nie meer gebruik nie

[@jenneblok194]

Nice video

[@jadashtleib7029]

where in South Africa can I get this annealing machine?

[@williamgittins4770]

Do you anneal virgin brass before 1st loading?

[@paulvonblerk9365]

Excellent info Boet. The only negative variable you forgot to mention is Eskom 😂

[@avinanrey]

Man, I love your passion for this sport. This annealing machine is too expensive for me at the moment (Saving to buy top of line scope first). What do you think about Annealeez?

[@79brumley]

It's amazing for 275 bucks, Did 2k pieces of 308 brass with it, and only took an hour or so!

[@avinanrey]

@@79brumley 2K pieces. WOW! Thank you for your recommendation.

[@oif3vetk9]

Seems to do the job just fine. (compared to not annealing at all) It's what I use too. It's a great entry level setup.

[@avinanrey]

@@oif3vetk9 thank you

[@herrcobblermachen]

Assault Likes are banned in my country, but thank you for the video! Id like to see some brass closeups :)

[@bawhitham23]

Do you have to segregate each box of brass when annealing? example if i buy three boxes of Alpha brass, do I have to take one case from each box and analyze for each box or can i use one case for all three boxes?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Nope

[@bestog2000]

It would be extremely easy to program it to store all your found codes for each type of brass. Not sure why they wouldn't have added that feature yet.

[@greenstreet5287]

Why do some quench? Most don’t from what I’ve seen. I can’t find an answer on yt I just keep getting the same videos

[@GATE-MT]

why strain marks obtained after the BRASS annealing?

[@worrdogg]

Curious do you anneal before or after sizing?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Before

[@dexter5421]

Looks like a great product, but has anyone considered all of that heat rises into the case body. Has anyone had issue with this?

[@Arzan81]

The pin pointed heat softens only the neck(wich is the whole point of the proces) The lower heat moving towards case base does nothing to it as long as the heating time is correct. Too much time can soften the case body and make the base to crack, but it takes like 30 seconds or more. It has been testes.

[@lonnie6785]

Do you clean your brass first or after?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

It really doesn't matter, I do after because then I have that little heat mark on reloaded rounds and it looks cool

[@bleechmint]

This is an advertisement for a product not information on annealing brass.

[@Jason-un9ps]

Yup

[@beresheeth]

If you anneal every time you can anneal after sizing... works actually better with my ADG brass.

[@datbotdaddy]

Little story for you last week I was shooting at target with my 308 all’s well shooting through the same hole right it’s getting towards the afternoon ok five more one bullseye two bullseye three 4”low wtf went to eject the case nothing came out strange tried again didn’t come out now I’ve gone to get something to get it out I noticed small bits of brass scattered in front of the rifle I tip it up give the stock a little tap more brass falls out the Barrel 90% of the case disintegrated thankfully the guns ok and that was a close one

[@joet1626]

I can't afford that machine, how about a budget system Bro. We might not have the funds available.

[@dgreenapple]

Technology is great, but expensive. So for $1,400+ you can anneal your brass to perfection. It would be interesting to do a shooting study to see if annealing with AMP gives noticeable better consistency than manual annealing. Then you could feel good about $1,400+ for one component of an already-expensive tool set for reloading.

[@79brumley]

It doesn't, Most of the benchrest guys are flame annealing and still breaking records right and left. Speedy shot a .40 inch group at 400 yards using a gas annealer. Russell Raines in 2012 shot a .096" 5 shot group at 200 meters and the old all time record in the 70s was .009" group at 100, thats 5 shots into the same hole essentially and all of those guys are using propane torches.

[@dhooter]

What is the interest rate and payments on that machine? Think they have a 60 month financing option 😂

[@79brumley]

I dunno man, There's a lot of f class and benchrest world champs who still use a open flame to anneal their brass! Erik Cortina uses a gas annealer and just shot a 1.3 inch 5 shot group at 1000 yards!

[@jmkhenka]

I hand anneal and tbh it hasnt done much for accuracy, there are so many other things that needs to be perfect. Its all about neck tension, there is no other magic happening. Gas annealing has been used since we started using brass casings.

[@talkingrock7011]

Same here for me a torch and cordless drill motor and I get consistent anneal

[@182Schalk]

Agree TB, Piet shouldn't state inconsistencies with gas flames when F-class guys are still using gas with great results. He has an upcoming video, should be good.

[@NiteQwill_]

And Erik Cortina states the only reason he still uses a flame is because it is what was available at the time. He finished by saying if he was to purchase a new annealer today, it would be an induction one like the AMP. Let's not confuse traditional loading techniques with the only method to do something. Innovation consistently improves the way we reach precision.

[@talkingrock7011]

@@NiteQwill_ I cannot ever use the induction method since I have metal in my body from surgery’s it heats the metal up in my body

[@robbertd4482]

Soooo... What do they cost.. In rand? Pricecheck is boning me..

[@79brumley]

1400 bucks.

[@gerhardfourie2551]

Piet. Gee my asb jou epos addres. Het iets wat ek met jou moet bespreek wat jou Channel baie sal help

[@elvisjerrylee]

Why do you anneal before resizing ?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Always before

[@elvisjerrylee]

You said in your video you always anneal before resizing, my question is why.

[@garyjohns4711]

ya and its very very expensive! Its also slower than shit!!!

nuts nothin but a sale pitch for a machine

[@tobiewiesner6191]

One at a time manually 🙈

[@ferrumignis]

Brass is supposed to be quenched after heating to lock the annealed grain structure in.

[@beachboardfan9544]

Wonder why all the gun ppl are doing annealing vids all of a sudden?

[@KindredGh0st]

Damn. Reloading rifle can be autistic. This is madness compared to pistol.

[@jazzdein1]

Wow that didn't help.....how about how to manually doing it. Some of us don't have $5,000 to spend.

waste of time and $$$ .get your load down . just buy enough brass with the cost of this machine ..so 2nd use is many months away , just load date rotate use ...with enough brass over time it might be years before you shoot it again ..so it cracks throw it away .. simple ..less b/s ..less cost , less time ...

[@oif3vetk9]

That's great if you're not a competitive shooter or independently wealthy. If the latter is the case just buy factory ammo and rock out.

[@79brumley]

@@oif3vetk9 There's actually quite a few of the Top PRS guys who use factory ammo and are winning comps.
