AMP Annealing Service for Forum Members?

[Dead is better]

Shit balls that's a lot of brass for that kind of money

Now you're beginin' to sound all logicky.

Now you're beginin' to sound all logicky.

So ..
To sound all accountanty, back of the envelope that's about 1000 brass before it breaks even.
Assuming you anneal every 5 shots instead of throwing away, that's 5000 rounds.

The AMP costs similar to a mid priced scope or two or three new barrels, which is about what you'd use with your 5000 rounds, or perhaps a new press, dies, calipers electronic powder dispenser, so would be within reach of some shooters (not all) and we know of many with that much underused shooting gear lying around.

A syndicate or club of half a dozen shooters might find it economical in terms of extending brass life. Specially a club loading for several rifles where they want to full length size and return all ammo to original state, standard specs regularly. A small business doing reloads for hunters might use one to ensure all ammo they send out is spick and span; would be a good extra service and could improve the performance of their product.

Hunters annealing every 5th shot might be a worthwhile market to offset some of the cost, provided you don't have to work too many evenings at sub minimum wage per hour including repacking and posting back brass. Make sure you charge enough. IRD could want a cut of any koha that changes hands and MAF will be interested if it's known to be veni. Reloading is a very personal service. You'd want a trusting, tight knit clientele.

I think the main market for this will be long range competition shooters wanting to take their game up a level by annealing their own brass every time they fire. They already spend a lot on gear and go full OCD reloading anyway and it would definitely be one less variation if they could anneal every shot, at home, when it suits them.

So does this mean you have to wait 6 months for yours?

Nope, ordered pre-Shot Show and on its way. One forum member is already ordering the pilot he needs and sending brass LOL - I can see this will need to be limited to strong forum contributors (good bastards).

Bugger, I'm out then

[Tikka7mm08]

Yeah sorry @Gibo, perhaps a 16000 post entry point.

Deal, and i'll send mine down after you have annealed 16000

[Tikka7mm08]

....we'll both have a long wait!

[Tikka7mm08]

Ok - pilots I will have: .260 (308 etc), 7mmSaum (300Saum), 300NM @MSL . Pilot provided by forum members with their brass: .204 Ruger.

You will not regret purchasing t

Damm tablets.... you wont regret purchasing this and the guys at AMP are great to deal with. I can say through my testing that my groups improved and speeds over chrony were more consistent.

[Tikka7mm08]

Thanks Donald... it is a bit extravagant for the amount of shooting I do but have heard nothing but good things as you say. I just love gadgets that make reloading easier/interesting. V.keen to receive my Whidden 260AI hydraulic die this month and put this to use with those cases and 7mmSaum Norma brass.

[Tikka7mm08]

And yes Alex is tops to deal with... he is the company President so can't do better than that.
