Considering an annealer. I can't afford an AMP. My buddy has one. It's Dreamy. I can use his, but he's a two hour drive each way. He had the schitty dual flame annealer before.....the one with the curved arm the slides the brass off the turn table. What a POS!

A few videos on this one, but not much buzz.

I have one of the earlier runs of the annealeez. It works but the torch adjustment for different length cases is fiddly. The new system seems a little better.

I have one. It works as designed and does a good job.....but it is a bit of a PITA to set the torch. I'll be machining a solution once it pisses me off completely.

I started to build my own and realized that it's too cheap to not by the anealez.

I shoot 6.5 Creed, 243, 7 Rem Mag and 300 Win mostly....so I'd have to dick with Magnum vs short action back and forth pretty regularly. That's a bummer. But the new one seems a bit less finicky and I would have to streamline a system somehow. Probably just buy bigger lots of brass and run 200 Magnum of each cartridge and be done for a while makes the most sense.

It's a couple of minutes of frustration. ....Nothing impossible. You will need 2 sizes of rolls though.

On a side note, was the brass you got from me up to snuff?

Pretty easy to switch wheels. I put a wing nut on the torch for easier adjustments. For the price it’s hard to beat.

I am sure it is....I looked at it briefly and got into the holidays. You got SMOKED on shipping. I feel schitty. Want a few more $$$?


I've NOT seen the Mike's annealer prior. I'll read a little about it during some down time at work tonight if I get some. Looks very similar to Annealeez concept. If the Annealeez is still close to $300 that fits about perfect in what I had in mind.

Oh ok. Just checking. I want people to be happy with their purchase. Nope, we set a price and that is what it took to get it to you. I'm happy if you are.

Wheels go quick but it is just one more step that makes it unpleasant. I have a 3rd different size of wheels for short mags too..

I have one of the newest ones and I'm very happy with it! Run about 1500 cases through it in the last couple weeks and for the $ it's awesome!

be careful learning the annealeez as I goofed the case holder getting the dang brass TOO hot and not speeding it up fast enough. I was melting the black rubber onto the brass and feeling pretty stupid.
