I guess it comes down to how exact you want to be, still has to be way be more consistent than gas

I'm generally not annealing new brass, there are usually some that can be culled

That aligns with my expectation completely and therefore more than happy using the website presets.
Thanks for sharing your findings.

Different batches of brass could theoretically throw a wee bit of a spanner into the works though.... ?

Yeah, but like anything to do with shooting I think diminishing returns also comes into it.
My primary focus around annealing is brass longevity first, then the other benefits subsequent to that. I’m satisfied I’m getting a concise annealing process over other systems and (for me) the AZTEC mode isn’t worth one of my Lapua cases every new batch.
The fact there is differences case to case means I’m personally happy to run within a level of standard deviation from absolute optimum.
