Benefits of annealing

Thanks for replying. I have read the vendor information and have been impressed.
I was looking for empirical shooters’ experience to justify the 1500 USD investment.
1-Saves brass
2-More consistency (keeps it at the same ductility through each firing, sizing, ect., instead of get harder).
If you don’t want to spend $1500 there are other methods. IMO, the amp or similar is best bc it’s electric, then a flame annealer, salt bath.
I have an Annie Annealer and like it for what I do and for the price.
With the salt bath, I wouldn’t trust myself with a hot ass liquid.....I’d burn my dumb ass.
Flame, is what I wanted first off since I’m a pyro but to have one in the winter in a non ventilated space, I don’t trust it with the fumes and it can be tedious to set up.

More consistency. I don’t have an AMP but I do have an AnnealEase annealing machine and for many years I was against annealing and thought it was silly until I broke down and tried it. I anneal now after every firing and my neck tension has been much more constant and I’ve noticed tighter SD numbers.
