Re: Which Annealing Machine
I like and use the $50 Hornady annealing kit, and it works great. I set it up off the end of my tailgate and go to town. I can do about 300 cases in 30-45 minutes. Get a standard propane torch at HD or Lowe's, and put the case in the light blue flame for 6-7 seconds, and you're good.

I have the Bench Source. It is a beautifully made machine and works great. Easy to set up and clever design for torch height/distance/angle clamps. AG

Re: Which Annealing Machine
When my cases get enough firings to need it, I just plan to use the lead pot I already have.
Better temperature control than a propane torch.
No chance of overdoing it.
Just about as fast as I can pick them up and toss them into the bucket.
Compares favorably with putting then IN a machine, running the machine, then taking them out of the machine (or for some, the end is the same 'cause they end up in a bucket too).
And I don't have to buy anything.
