That was an interesting video. Tks. I use a Mapp Gas torch, or a Mapp Gas torch head on a propane tank. With the .17's, either .17Rem or Hornet, just 3 seconds in the flame is usually sufficient
rotating the case in my fingers, then dropping it into the water. I like the big squat 1 pound propane tanks as they sit very well.

I use propane on my 40 years old propane torch. About 6 or 7 years ago, I found 4 or 5 propane tanks at a local yard sale for $0.50 each. Had to get them all, as that should be a lifetime supply for me.

I use my homebrew induction annealer quite a bit. For years I did the drill/torch method, and now I much prefer induction. It's much faster, more consistent, and I can easily do short cases without overheating the case head. With the WSSM, I had to use MAP gas to heat the neck fast enough to not overheat the whole case. Annealing is really handy for doing wildcat forming, and I get more consistent velocities too. Velocity variation doesn't matter much when popping rodents inside 300 yards, but at long range it can be a big factor.
The AMP web site has a lot of information on annealing that they've published. For induction annealing, I prefer the homebrew versions because they are usually a drop-thru setup with a trap door. This helps with doing large batches of brass (check out the videos on the accurate reloading link above). With the AMP you attach each case to the holder, insert it, anneal it, remove it back out the way it went in, detach the case from the holder, repeat... |

Great points all thank you for your input. I decided to table this for now since the used machine I was looking at sold...not to me. I'll keep you posted if I move down this path.
