annealing 6.5 Grendel brass

I love gadgets and case annealers have got to be in the coolest class of gadgets, but the price of them generally reflects that elevated rank so I have to get by with a screw gun, a deep socket and a bottle of Tempilac. I've got some Hornady brass that's about to be reloaded for the 13th time so annealing definitely works to extend brass life and if I hadn't waited too long to anneal the first time I'd have many more cases remaining than the 130 I have left.I'll be yer Huckleberry.

I've got an AMP machine, and did the Aztek upgrade. This is cutting edge induction perfection when it comes to annealing. I have a pile of different calibers so it makes things repeatable and consistent. I hope by the end of May they start shipping the auto feed system.

Steve,
Have you seen an increase in accuracy from consistent neck tension or just brass longevity with the AMP machine? I know someone who has one but he has yet to see anything more than extended case life. Mind you, he has yet to use it on a match-grade bolt gun so the 'jury is still out'. The price makes my eyes water which I why I am asking.

Yes the price was pretty steep, but I'm an OCD person and couldn't wrap my head around some of the torch systems and tuning it for all the different calibers I load. I load for 17HH, .204 Ruger, .221 FB, .222 Rem, .223 Rem, 6.5G, 6.5x47, .260, .308 and .338 Lapua so brass life is an important management issue. The AMP system is repeatable and it will prevent me from potentially ruining brass. If I loaded just .223 or 6.5G, I can see having a torch system set up for just that, and no problems.
