Thread: annealing cases

I decided as I seemed to be doing more & more playing with rifles that I would invest in an annealing machine.

It works very well & softens the brass nicely, really helps with consistent neck tension.

When you have a calibre that has fancy/expensive brass, throwing them away after 10 firings isn't an option...

I had to throw away a heap of Lapua 338 Lapua magnum because of cracks in the neck shoulder junction

The primer pockets were perfect but they were toast replacement cost was over $5-6 each

I also had problems with my 416 Barrett brass even though I had annealed by hand to form it, some I even over annealed, but it still needed to annealed more.
