It's a combination of heat and time.All the annealing machines I've seen have a rheostat that varies the time the case is in the flame. And I can say for sure that time varies by a measurable time between something like .30 Carbine, 30-06, and .458 magnum and all calibers in-between. It's the temperature, not the time. Heck, even different lots and manufacturers can change the time by a second or so.
Set it up, adjust time for temperature (I use Templiaq), load it up and let it go to town. You just need check the hopper once in a while. I originally bought the annealer for forming .30 Carbine to 5.7 MMJ/Spitfire as cold forming leads to split cases either forming or upon first firing. Works good.I like the Annealeez (sounds like a Swedish sex lube from the 80's… LOL!) because you load the hopper and it's practically automated without having to manually handle each piece of brass.
True, but the time establishes the temperature. My point was that the flame is a specific temperature, so the time the case is in the flame establishes the temperature but it is the specific temperature that is the important factor.It's a combination of heat and time.
True, but the time establishes the temperature.
Both machines are the same style, but the Mike's is a lot more expensive. The money is definitely there, but not sure if one does a better job than the other. The Mike's video showed several cartridges including 300 BO which needed a bit of accommodation due to length and minimal neck reduction. Annealeeze needs a special conversion kit, so that brings the total cost a bit closer still.I like the Annealeez (sounds like a Swedish sex lube from the 80's… LOL!) because you load the hopper and it's practically automated without having to manually handle each piece of brass.

I'm talking fire, not electricity. That's a subject all of it's own.So does the power.

Who says you're "mis" pronouncing it?Yeahbutt, "Annealeeze"…. Think of all the fun you can have mispronouncing that! You got nothing with, "Mike".
Plus you can play "bow, bow, bow, chicka bow wow" music while annealingYeahbutt, "Annealeeze"…. Think of all the fun you can have mispronouncing that! You got nothing with, "Mike".
On that second video do you anneal until your fingers turn a light shade of red?Since you are only doing a couple of cases.
Annealing on the Cheap.
And, an even cheaper method.
