    Pinned seating depth by .0005 for 200 300WM. Yup, so easy they even let me do it!

    I went cheaper yet, using a Ryobi. It works well despite “studies” done by annealing manufacturers that prove your bullets will fall out of the barrel if annealed on less than a $2000 annealing magic machine.
    Kinda my whole premis here! 🤩

    Proof you need Tempilaq . Necks are getting too hot while you look for that ring going past the shoulder to look pretty . Neck lives matter . Things will get tighter, there is hope .

    I did the cordless drill annealing for a long time before going to an AMP...

    Yeah, the AMP is much easier, faster, more consistent, all that... but don't sleep on the cordless drill method, it still works and is way better than not annealing at all.

    Show me your tighter 1K and 1 Mile groups and I'll try your way.

    It's actually against the law to anneal brass for a Savage in anything but the cigarette lighter of a 1990s Ford Ranger, just fyi
    We talkin' the factory lighter in the dashboard... or a crusty gas station lighter you dug out of the crack in the seat?

    Cooked necks are not better than just leaving the brass alone and not annealiing it .

    I was once a know it all torch annealer . I look back and laugh now . A bottle of tempilaq proved that theory wrong . Absolutely no way by eye is as good . You can take 6 pieces of brass with different headstamps and anneal them properly , those 6 pieces will not all look the same in regards to the annealed neck/shoulder . Experience is the best teacher .

    Love to see all your trophies and checks, but really someone with those accolades would have some group pics.

    I wouldn’t do something that didn’t show positive results. .0005 consistency good enough in my book.

    Who said anything about cooked necks? I used to use a timer set to a certain number of seconds, the same way those Bench Source and Annealeez thingys work. Not perfect, but isn’t useless.

    And yeah, let’s see those big checks and trophies… Acta Non Verba 😂
