    @janleroux Nice! Really simple, I opted to add the hopper using Skippy’s YouTube videos to allow me to do other processes as they anneal, such as decapping another batch

    @Oli1102 you are a step or so ahead of me, but that is on my todo list. As is I have annealed about 500 cases with this setup. Takes me about 10min to do 100 cases, so not too much drama. Use the standard blue gas torches - I just bought another (the cheaper) torch tip from Mitre10. The fancy one that has the lighter built in did not give a nice pencil flame.

    Yeah I have found it doesn’t give a nice pencil flame with the one I have, so had reservations about it when I started. I have found it to work fine and heat evenly though and the width of the flame when centred on the neck/shoulder junction covers the shoulder and most of the neck. I think it might actually heat more evenly the whole annealing area rather than focusing on one point and relying on the heat to transfer up the neck and down the shoulder... but in reality they all work.
