I have never annealed my brass (I just replace it as needed).
I'm aware it is supposed to extend the life of the brass. How much does it extend the life? Is it worth the time? ...and how many times can brass be annealed?
How much brass can be reasonably annealed per hour, once you've got the hang of it?
What is the cost of the fuel used per hour to anneal? I'm wondering how much money is really saved by extending the life of the brass, verses replacing it.
How often do you anneal your brass? Do different calibers need to be annealed more often then others? (I reload: 40SW, 38SP, 223REM, and 270WIN) Is pistol brass worth annealing?
And, if I didn't ask enough questions already... what is your system when annealing? Have you tried annealing different ways? What worked for you, and what didn't?
Thanks!
LONG LIVE...
