Great Information. Thats why they say the gun is the cheapest component in this sport. To feed the beast thats where the money goes. I built my annealer still have a couple hundred in it after everything but did save a few bones.

[@targetrifle]

Yes, the gun is the cheapest. Thanks for the comment!

I saved some money getting an isonic cleaner (same as hornady but a lot less expensive) and using a nesco food dehydrator for my brass.

[@targetrifle]

I’ve been thinking about a food dehydrator for wet brass. One more piece of equipment to take up more space though. How long does it take to dry 200 cases?

Some of the best 1,000 yard guys don’t clean brass. Ever. Testing has proven it’s a waste of time. Length of cartridge every time, anneal, full length size, prime, powder, projectile. Load and squeeze. 😊

@@wrstew1272 interesting. I'm going to have to do some research on that

Yes, not cheap, but you will always have ammo to shoot.
