Annealeez Gen 3

[Jefe~]

Good Evening everyone.

I just bought an annealeez Gen 3 and wanted to know if anyone had insight on what setting to use for Lapua 308 brass? Something that will get me in the ballpark for the initial setup. I purchased today so I haven't even seen the manual yet.

Many Thanks!

There's a lot of variables there that get in the way of giving you an answer that's meaningful . . . even though you looking for something in the "ballpark". Perhaps a time interval is a better thing to look at than the setting on the Annealeez. For .308, you might use 7 seconds and put the setting that gives you that amount to time. To find out what setting you should use for your Annealeez setup, turn out the light so you can observe in a dark room whether the neck starts to glow. When the neck starts to glow, that's the time the case should be dropped out of the flame and that'll give you a proper anneal. Then, whatever setting you have for that is what you'll know to use with your machine.

I have an older Annealeez that I installed a digital readout and found the setting for my .308's that works for my particular set up.

Yep. I have found whatever it takes to get that glow works for me.
