If you hope to get 10 plus reloads from each case go ahead and learn the technique ,,,, buy the expensive annealer, butane torch, whatever.

But if you are going to lose / throw away the brass after a few firings, dont bother.
If you load super hot loads that have a minimal case life anyways...dont bother.
If you are just doing .223 or some other cheap, easy to come by brass and its your only shooter ....dont bother.
Its all about economies of scale really.

Yeah not worried about the bulk 223 stuff. More just playing around with them to get it right for my 20tac.
The brass is no longer available and the stuff I have I want to look after, plus all the fireformed cases I am doing I want to keep for a while too.

This is the annealing system I'm using....
