Nice torch. Yea, That would be a great start to an automated setup. I have a busted head somewhere I might have a use for now Thanks guys. This is actually the start of an automatic setup I plan to build. For now I just anneal manually but with this torch I don't need a drill any more. I just hold the brass in a socket by hand and slowly rotate it 1/4 to 1/2 turn while it heats up. Much easier and faster than the drill method. |

Think pendulem or slide track like ballistic annealer. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile My initial thought was to build one similar to the ballistic edge / brass-o-matic design. I had a few alternate designs pop in my head in the last few weeks though. What is this pendulum design you speak of? |

Since I'm still waiting on my order Greek HXP from CMP,
155gr SMK loaded over 50gr IMR4064 in Remington brass with a CCI primer. Can't say enough good things about the Redding NM die set - especially the competition seating die! Of course, I'm showing off the rustiest Enbloc clip I've got...

My latest 9mm build with a 147gr bullet cast from an RCBS mold. The RCBS bullet doesn't have a bevel base, has more surface area for the rifling to grab and is less messy to lube compared to the Lyman 147gr bullet.
My namesake, 5.3gr unique under a Lyman 225gr 
38 Special, 4.5 gr unique, 162 grain LSWC cast from an obsolete Lyman mold. One of my favorite things (next to 45acp)

Hulked up 9mm supplies. Enough to make a Democrat cry. All were loaded on my Dillon 650XL. 30 Caliber ammo cans hold approximately 1200 rounds. The 50 caliber ammo cans can hold up to 2500. Three specific types of 9mm. 9000 –– 125gn LRN S&S Casting, 3.75gn's of Titegroup, mixed brass, CCI SPP 2500 –– 147gn LFP Missouri Bullets, mixed brass, CCI SPP, I forget the powder load 2500 –– 147gn JHP Zero Bullets, mixed brass, CCI SPP, I forget the powder load, but it is Titegroup. I have about 15000 45acp in 230gn LRN loaded as well, but no photo. They're in 50 caliber ammo cans, and have a 1000 rounds in each. They are heavy sumbitches. They weigh in at about 70lbs each.

So it's been annealed twice....color and consistent heat is something I'd been working toward for some time. Heat traveled to a point and stopped pretty much the same place, every case. Brass was re-annealed using a waterless heat sink method.... something else I've been working on for months, No big deal, right ?? Uh - no - I sure would like to know/see/hear more on that topic. I plan on annealing my 6.8 brass for longer life. The stuff is kinda spendy in lots of 500 . . . . |
