Thread: anealing service

I bought it from my local H&F as they offered the best discount for the bulk. Organised a group buy on here and got 25,000 rounds for various people. Really have to keep a group buy pretty local as the stuff costs a fortune to ship

Some that I have started for a mate 6.5 284 fired 4 times left, cleaned, annealed an neck sized right.

It's by all means easy to do by hand but if you want neck tensions right for out a wee way there is only one way, the proper way

What do you call the proper way TM2?

Even heat, even time, so they are all the same an even given if you have it a little differnt each time in set up etc it wont matter if you do it as a batch.

Doing it by hand you can be dirrerent times slightly, different lengths from the flames.

My set up witch ill put up when i have the nicer on the eye model made as mine was tried everyway i could, ill but up a vid, its all on adjustble timers for bigger or smaller cases, 2 flames with 3rd for the bigger cases an when the case hits the beating point on the frame it goes onto another spinner so the case spins to get even heat around the case.

As you can see from the photo they are all very much the same i could put the 300 cases up an they will all look like that.

Like spanners said earlier its not really worth doing it what would you chrage?

They way this lot seem to be talking HEAPS.

Old school method worked well for years, I don't know why people all of a sudden think it doesn't work.

It works mate an will extend you life of brass. but past 4-500m expect fliers an erratic groups with un even neck tension, is what im meaning.
Its easy to do, i would happy do it but wont be for free an it wouldnt be worth my while when i could be doing other things

Why use a rangefinder and a scope that can dial when open sights and holdover has worked for HUNDREDS of year

But that's behind the times Spanners. Are you living in the dark ages? 338 and Linux is where it's at.

I still use this method when shooting my 110yr old Winchester

Works for me

Scary opinions on here about annealing.
Ive been using a twin gas torch setup with 750F Templaq for years, works perfectly.
Longest and worse part of annealing is cleaning the brass first.

Ive thought about offering a service but I just know that if the brass needed to be cleaned to a certain standard before I would do it, it wouldnt be done, Id end up doing it and I'll beat that people would moan their asses off because I charged them for cleaning the brass, I repeat the longest and worse part of annealing brass cases is cleaning them.

Sure is

Did you notice how I was the only one shooting with iron sights ...... and I still didn't finish last.

My plan is to take out High Score honours this year

What type of design did you settle on Tussock?

I'd be keen to see some pics once your done.

Be good to see how they come up, you going to do the lot or do a batch and test them?

Here's some more I'm doing at moment have 300 down 200 to go, then the forming of shoulder forward. The ones that are not colored the same, I mark them an separate and they become the 300m bush load

Called SSM cleaning. The only thing you will complain about is how shiny they are.

Found can do 100,223 in an hour and they are better than new i.e. dont overload and get maxi out of your soap and Lemishine.
