Annie Annealer Times

[Silverjay]

I didn’t see any conversations about anneal times for the Annie. I found 2.0 after warm up worked great for ADG 6mm Creedmoor. What times have you found for other brass/calibers?

Depends on the jaws you choose and where you hold the case and the brass type.

federal 300bo, red & yellow jaws is 1.2
RP 223 r&y is 1.5
Lapua 223 r&y is 1.8
Norma 6xc r&y is 3.5
270 Win r&r is 3
270 Nosler r&r is 3.2

I test with 750 tempilaq, I test until it turns clear, the bigger the case the more centered on the shoulders you need to have it, the larger shoulder will absorb/require more energy so I put it there and it will flow into the neck hopefully so that the easy necks and the difficult shoulders all turn clear at the same time.

Here are some times I found for various calibers and manufacturers, using the 0.625" diameter water-cooled coil. I determined the times both with 750-degree Tempilaq, and by watching for a very brief glow from the brass with the lights turned out.

.223
LC, FC, WCC - 1.0 seconds
WMA, PMC, Wolf - 1.1 seconds
CBC - 1.3 seconds

6.5 Creedmoor
Starline - 1.6 seconds
Sellier & Bellot - 1.8 seconds

.308
WCC, WMA, MKE, FC - 1.8 seconds
LC, PMC, PPU, CBC, Aguila - 1.9 seconds
MEN, IMI - 2.0 seconds
Lapua - 2.1 seconds

If you get the water cooled coil it is way more efficient and you'll need to turn it down or you'll melt case necks using settings from the opened jaw type coils.

My settings for the water cooled coils are:
.223 AI = 1.9 seconds
6 Dasher = 2.3 seconds
7 SAUM = 3.0 seconds
