Thread: annealing help please

Or just use a candle & wet towel, or a drill, socket and propane torch.

Haven’t tried either method myself, but I’m keen to give them a go - especially as 7mmWSM brass is neither cheap nor readily available.

Anyone had much experience and success with either?

Any thing flame annealed forget it.
I have just read the book by Alex Findlay who invented the Amp annealler.
The myths of flame annealing have been busted wide open with science.
End of the flame annealed sorcery!

Flame annealing still has its place.
Not everyone can afford an AMP.

As I said, science has proven it is a waste of time .
You can afford to send your high end brass to someone that has one.
If you want yours done get it to me and if I have the pilot will do it for free just to prove my point.
You can feel the difference when seating bullets, all the same and smooth.

Drill and socket were invented and used and continue to be used before all the fancy machines. Sorta like you cant kill deer with a 303 because you need a gun with a carbon fibre stock etc. It is not rocket science just careful common sense.
