Those industrious Kiwis are at it again . This has to be on of the best machines going, and a good U tube clip to.

thats an awesome piece of kit.....
annealing is something ive been thinking about lately.

Any idea on price? Always get suspicious when i can't see the price listed

Steve

US$995 apparently

Yeah that right but it's also in US dollars. I got one with three others and we love it. Great piece of kit if you can fork out for it. They will test your brass and tell you exactly what number program you need to have to anneal your brass. You simply send them two cases in the mail, easy

AlanF.... maybe a Rosedale Bulk buy ??

That's cool - only $1340 Aussies before the exchange charge kicks in.

Don't forget freight plus the import duty/taxes which need to be paid.....

Aprox $1800 AU delivered to your door.

Drive over & use Tony's.....

Albert,

It is the sort of thing that could be shared. But is it that much better than the South Australian model? Has anyone used both?

Given the various options for different calibres and programs for even different manufactures of a calibre, I must say that it seems quite sophisticated... I like the induction mechanisms vs. butane from a safety and ease of use perspective.... still love to look into the blue flame

Not sure through if $1,800 landed is the sort of thing a single shooter will get much of a return on... well maybe if I start shooting as much as others I may

Albert

Very happy with my south oz one. Brass is in the flame for the same amount of time vs doing it by hand. It melts 700F tempilaq inside the neck and looking at colour on the case I'm not getting as much heat down the body of the case compared to the factory lapua on the right. If anything I have probably under annealed, but unless the tempilaq is wrong the temps are fine. Would rather slightly under anneal than over anneal and risk a case popping with 50-60k pressure. This machine has my two thumbs up so far.

When we got ours it ended up being $1400 total, not $1800. Not sure how tony pulled that one off!
That included 5 pilots as well, so about $350 each. I was initially worried about people wanting it while another had it but as it pumps out 300 to 400 an hour while watching tv, there has been no conflicts.

The SA one works a treat. A number of guys are using them now and for the price you won't beat the build quality. The induction ones are certainly fancy though. But then again they'd want to be better consisting they're 3 times the period!
Once you start bringing gear in over AUD$1000 you have to be careful as customs will rape you on extra fees and charges (don't ask me how I know).
A number of Victorian F Class guys saw my annealer at a recent Horsham shoot and that's resulted in 2 extra sales plus 2 in the pipeline.
I can't fault them to be honest.
The other thing I've found is the standard supplied wheels will take a wide range of brass. I was pretty happy recently to find that my supplied large wheel will even work with .585 Hubel Express brass. The attached picture is of the .585 next to a .280 Rem.

Do you know of anyone else bringing in other brands, e.g Benchsource??

Thanks
