    Nah, you bought one so you can anneal my 400 cases next time I’m down that way!

    Lol!
    Except I watch you anneal them!
    I only have 12 different pilots so you better let me know what ya want to anneal.
    I might have to buy the Amp mate just for you!

    If I had to get a pilot to do a mate's brass I would expect him to buy it and I would keep it. Just to keep it safe of course and to prevent loss.
    Likewise if I had to get an Amp Mate..........

    Looking at their vids the Amp Mate is a bit fiddly to set up. Also a fraction slower than doing cases manually one at a time but at least you can just load up the hopper and let it do its thing.

    Yeah Alex is not to far away from where I live and that was one of the things that also nudged me towards owning one. He is extremely approachable.

    He is also willing to Vickers test some of my annealed brass that I wasn't prepared to sacrifice one case of using Aztec. Top guy.

    Oh, I figured you could do them while I'm off hunting and shooting!

    But to be serious, most of my 400 cases are either loaded or once or twice fired, though I do have some Norma 243win cases that are five times fired. I think at most 40 cases, how long would they take to anneal?

    It's that quick that you cant brush the necks clean in the time they anneal
