Induction Annealing Brass for cheap!

[@toddb930]

You got my attention!

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I will make a video on this over the winter.

[@aubreydwalters]

So, Matt…. When are we gonna get an update on this, brother?

[@mattsreloadingbench]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH21mHeQmr6EY68 I got mine directly from this guy! It works great!

[@ireland_love_life]

Do you resize first or after Annealing?

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I used to resize before. But after doing some testing, I get better results with annealing first

[@ireland_love_life]

@@mattsreloadingbench thanks 🙏

Ok so this seems like a good project. I'm wondering if a good battery charger, maybe automotive, maybe larger would be an easy set-up, adding a timer of course.

[@mattsreloadingbench]

It is a regulat plug in for an outlet. And it is wired to a timer

[@roddawe2505]

Who makes that annealer?.l would be interested in purchasing one.

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I will be making a video soon.

​@@mattsreloadingbench- any plans on making a video of your induction annealer?

[@mattsreloadingbench]

@@toddb930 it is something that I will have to work on.

[@chrisviking428]

Dude! That really looks cool. I’m sure a video is on the way?

[@mattsreloadingbench]

Absolutely! I have to say that I cannot take the credit. This is something that I got from another guy and I have been tinkering with it for a few months.

[@chrisviking428]

👍 I reload for my buddies and I may have gone this route had I known about it. Looks really cool.

[@mattsreloadingbench]

Chris Viking, I will make a video soon.

[@craposnap]

now all this needs is a track and a feed system!

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I agree, but I do not have the slightest idea where to start with that. It also needs a coding system as well.

[@WillyK51]

A Drill(Hand drill) press stand to place the annealer so you can lower and lift to a set height, foot pedal(foot pedal could be conected to a small hidraulic/pneumatic/electrcal device to lower and lift the annealer) to start the timmed annealer, move the cases(A wooden/Aluminum strip with cartridge size drilled holes) to run under annealer(instead of the annealer) and dump them in water. Simple and fast enough for a few(100) cases. So much cheaper than the profesional/comercial ones, @@mattsreloadingbench

[@jamespollard1670]

I'd have to question the cheap part ?

[@mattsreloadingbench]

It is much less than $1400 for the AMP machine.

[@chrisviking428]

I paid $1500 bucks for the amp annealer, the pilots are $20 each. I’m in to deep but others may have a chance. Lol

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I love the AMP system! But if I am going to spend that kind of money, it is going to be on another rifle. LOL

@@mattsreloadingbench King of the hill , would recommend propane 😄

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I have an Annealeez, which runs on propane. I don't feel that I can get the consistency

[@bigjj974]

Why don't we just clean the brass then put them in the oven on the self-cleaning cycle. It can take temps up to 900 degrees which will dry the brass and also anneal the entire case. You can turn off the self-cleaning cycle after the oven reaches the temp you want for the length of time that you want.

[@vincentbledsoe8006]

You don't want to "anneal" the lower part of the shell, only the neck where the actual bullet will be crimper to the cartage. Using the oven may do more damage the base and primer pocket.

[@mattsreloadingbench]

@@vincentbledsoe8006 I agree 100%

[@tjav001]

Annealing the bottom part of the brass weakens it and can cause case head separation. Good luck with getting that out. It’s a pain.

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

So, how many times a day are you tripping your breaker?! Lol.. as a former electrical guru.. this pains me to see. When you repeatedly turn an induction load on, you heat the wire going to the breaker, super fast. You’d be better off leaving it on, and go from case to case. That said, I am not familiar with this particular device. I just know that when you stop and start over and over, it creates a lot of heat on the home run.

[@mattsreloadingbench]

Not once. I have not had any issues.

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

@@mattsreloadingbench awesome! Surprising, but awesome. Is there a control box associated with it, or just on and off? My guess is if there’s a control box, it’s got capacitance. Good deal

[@mattsreloadingbench]

@@harveymanfrantinsingin7373 there is a timed control box

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

@@mattsreloadingbench ahhh. I gotchya. I’ve been thinking about one of those. Looks like a much faster alternative to propane!

[@mattsreloadingbench]

I don't know if it is faster, but it by far more consistent
