Porthos, the video you mention was one I viewed while researching my build. A good simple version. I wanted an automatic feed on mine, so I decided to couple the feed and anneal functions with a cog...

I have written up a construction article to build an annealer, a bit more sophisticated than the one in the YouTube video. Be happy to send a copy to you if you like.

my son bought a Sporter, and using it for his hi-powered rifles we had some problems fitting it. (flash hider problems) Also I was afraid the weight of the sporter on the barrel would affect the...

I built my annealer from the basic idea put out by "Skip the Australian" many years ago, I used a cog belt drive to keep the pickup drum and the annealing pan in sync. I got most of the parts from...

Remey2424, no I don't have a single stage available. That with the correct flat top shell holder would have worked fine. I have a Herters 234 6 position press I use as a single stage when I need...

M-Tecs, yes I am talking about the thread relief on the mouth of the die, it is not there. The tech said the Dillon I was using (450) could not be used with the 38LM, but I could use them on a RCBS...

I have just tooled up to load 338 Lapua Magnum for my son (what a monster case!), who is into long range shooting. He bought a set of RCBS dies, but when I tried to use them, they wouldn't resize...

In the years of using them I have never noticed any tendency to generate static electricity. Also, they contain test strips that go into an electronic reader, I would think the...
