Thats cool @Beavis. Are the case holes big enough to fit a WSM case do you think? Is your Lee pot 110v and did you have to purchase a converter for it of some sort?
Thanks
@Tahr I purchased the Lee pot from Titan Reloading. They do a 220v international model. It comes with no plug, so I needed to get a sparky mate to splice a 3 pin plug on for me. About $110 NZ to my door.
The annealing kit comes from here Ballistic Recreations- Essentials For Salt Bath Annealing – Tools and Accessories for Hobbyist Shooters
The salt is DG so they need to ship it by sea. It took about 6-7 weeks for mine to turn up, but the Salt apparently lasts for thousands of cycles.
They make different size annealing kits, this one would easily fit a WSM I think, just the standard one.

Be intresing to see how it Goes
Nice, reading this thread you can use potassium nitrate ( KNO3) and Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) they shouldn't be hard to get in NZ, just need to get the mix right to get the right temp.

Ahh cool. I was looking at these a while ago. Didnt realise they would ship internationally.Did it cost much to get the annealing kit shipped?
It was about $US40
@Tommy
Could never get it to work well back then, maybe just as well...
Looks like a neat system to get same results every time.
