Thread: anealing service

I like the idea of running sane pressures so primer pockets aren't ruined, minimally sizing, and annealing after every so many firings to make my expensive brass last forever

However I don't actually do it as it's too much effort compared to emailing Belmont for more

How is it too much effort? Drill, propane torch ,socket/adaptor. 5 seconds for 223.

I'm hell of lazy at brass prep and after the ~10-12 firings my brass lasts for it's basically cost nothing anyway

Like you in most cases its the easier way to be when its getting say get new brass
Only odd ball cases make it really worth while an in the forming stages

Sorry, I don't own terrible calibres.

Yes primers are going to be in short supply here soon as local supplies dry up and the US ban panic effect from 4 months ago starts to hit us. I've got a few thousand stashed so that'll do me for the moment. Buy everything in bulk, before there is an anticipated shortage. Keeps your price down and you don't run out.

Thats exactly why there is shortage.

It's a tail spin effect

People buying in bulk for fear of running out for whatever reason.

Sellers reorder in even greater bulk thinking there's an increase in demand = an increase in profits to be made.

Maunfacturers unable to keep pace with demand creating a real shortage

Panicking people to buy even more and so on.

I got several thousand stashed too.

Buggered if I'm going to miss out.

Only when everyone buys at once, because of BANPANIC or whatever. I always buy in bulk for cheapness, haven't bought primers in like 2 years, bought several thousand. Same with .22 ammo, just bought 10k rounds of subs in December, 40% cheaper

What did you pay and what for and where?

Im thinking of buyung at least 5k of 22LR...if there is a decent discount for 10k I'd do that.

Always the witty cost accountant.
