The name just doesn't sound right.
Looks like good product.

I got the same thought when I read it.

I kinda laughed about it then choked.

Friend of mine has the older model. Found out it works very, very well with all rimless brass. when you switch to Rimmed it struggles. . Not that it does not but since the cases do not lay flat . causes a problem.
it also cannot do real short cases, hornet, Bee , or other in that size group

I have the original version and love it. This new version with all of the digital "geegaws" looks like way too much trouble for an old non-digital guy like me. I'll stick with my original version thank you very much ...

I liked MRB's so much i build my own

nope, don't see a problem with rimmed .45-70 brass ...

I use the Giraud annealer, and this looks like a good knock-off of it. I like the two pulley concept. Here's a photo of the Giraud:

There's a wheel for shorter cases (for the person who stated short cases are tough). I have only done 300blk with the short wheel, but works well. The machine works quite well once the user gets the hang of it (which doesn't take long). However, I constantly feel like the cases are going to tip out of that feed tray, but they never do. I have the first gen. Also, put something in the catch pan, or the racket from dropping cases will drive you nuts. I switched to a silicon tray.

I have no issue doing 7.62x39 on mine. About the shortest you can.

I always felt the same, so I put a length of wood under the front edge at the bottom as a shim so that the unit is tipped up at the front slightly. Probably not needed, but now I don't worry about any of the cases falling out when they drop down onto the pulley wheel ...

I have the gen 1 I have had it for about 2 years and love it. I have done thousands of pieces of brass on it. There is a conversation wheel kit for the shorter brass. I have loaded it to capacity and never had a problem. The best part is the price. 5 stars from me.

So...........who's Anna Lee? Did she design that annealer?

Retumbo, I like your annealer. I need another shop project like a hole in the head, but..........

As stated there are different wheels for the different lengths and they work well. For the money it works quite well and setup is 'easy'. I have the first Gen and it was a significant improvement over the socket, drill, torch method. I have processed several hundred cases from 300 BO to 45/70 and don't have any issues with it. My main use is for .223 and 308. And it can be hooked up to a 25 pound tank if you need to.
