    Induction Annealing Discussion

    I also use a Fluxeon Annie, on 6.5 CM cycle time is 1.8 hornady, 2.0 nosler, 2.4 Lapua. I built a trapdoor setup that controls the position of the brass in the coil. When cycle is complete I open the trapdoor and the brass drops into a container. Might add that I am using the water cooled coil.

    Suppressors Buildup inside suppressor

    i have approx 700 rounds through my AAC 762-SDN-6, mostly 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking into the can from the back end I noticed a buildup on the first baffle. Should I be concerned? Do I need to clean this if so how. I always heard only rimfire cans need to be cleaned.

    i have a issue with fired brass not being ejected from the gun. Upon cycling the bolt (m700) the brass is pulled from the chamber but is left laying loose on top of the next round in the mag. No issue with hornady brass.
