    Yep, just use the code listed on the site with confidence.
    I personally haven’t bothered with the Aztec upgrade myself and don’t feel in anyway disadvantaged by it.

    A quick google and it looks like you have Buffalo River OSA factory ammo brass. Or is that OSA Buffalo River?
    Their brass is supplied by ADI but you probabaly already knew that.

    From what I can read weight sorting and neck thickness isn't going to be crucial for hunting rounds. I understand this will have a varying effect but has anyone got some real world experience with it?? Just want some piece of mind before I start annealing every bit of brass I own. Thanks

    @micknz I dug out my ADI brass today but could only find 18 cases. With so few I didn't want to Aztec one.
    My brass has 15 thou necks. I used AMP std setting 74. They came out looking OK however looking good is not a gauge of annealing effectiveness. The main thing is they didn't collapse into molten messes.

    @andyanimal31 I have updated my AMP software (firmware?) to get the Auto Start function. It works a treat. Not sure how much time it knocks off but it is a lot easier not having to hit the start button everytime. Today's run equated to 400 per hour, if I could keep up and not fumble to often.

    I must download the latest release.
    The previous version with the auto start had the power save feature come on after running for some time.
    Nice bit of kit.

    Just 5 minutes ago I was reading their patches and they have fixed that problem

    Today's job - I found around 300 various brands of 308 brass. I'll clean them using SS pins, then anneal, then FLS etc. etc.

    Amongst my findings are Lapua 308, 7.62x51 Lapua (doesn't appear to be ex military), CAC, and ADI. I now have enough ADI to roast one to get the Aztec code. Can then compare with @micknz result.
