Cartridge Case Annealer

Post by Mainehunter »

I've been wanting to purchase one for quite sometime. Just got enough cash saved up and leaning towards Giraud because of being automated. Can feed a few hundred cases in the hoper and let it run. The other thing that really interests me I can convert it to a flameless coil-induction unit but have read mixed reviews because of the coil burning out prematurely. There are other induction coils I can get that are water fed, keeps the temps down. I do have a 30 gallon water tank with an injection pump for my TIG welder that I can probably convert it temporarily. Does anyone have the Giraud case annealer? Just curious how you like or dislike yours? Thanks!

Started with a Ken Light unit - 2x gas burners. OK, but now use an A.M.P. induction unit. I feed it manually but there is an auto-feed available. Very fast, and programmed for pretty much any cartridge case. If that wasn't good enough, it's also able to calibrate for your cases. Worth checking out - I won't be going back to gas.

That's pretty cool it can be calibrated to a specific case. There's a guy at the gun club has the A.M.P. and he swears by it!
