when my son was four he would push the button for me

TIG gloves from Home Depot and a metal beer bucket from the liquor store. And don't go too fast - keep a rhythm ... slow is smooth, smooth is fast ... pause occasionally to let everything cool a bit.

He’s doing it correctly per AMP.
While you only type one code into the machine, AMP's official ##### instructions emphasize that the single case you melt must be highly representative of the whole batch. To do this without wasting brass, they recommend a non-destructive averaging process before analyzing: [1]

• Measure the neck wall thickness of 10 different cases with a ball micrometer.
• Find the mathematical average of those dimensions.
• Select the single sacrificial case that closest matches that average weight and thickness.

Mine Mike the same size ! So what now ? Sacrifice a case and get on with annealing ! It’s that SIMPLE !

This is the annealed brass colour I like to see from the AMP machine.

Color does not indicate proper annealing.

He just said he LIKES to see it

Funny, my wife gives the same directions!................

Maybe his aren't? Do they all weight the exact same? I'm simply showing the instructions that AMP provides, and that he's clearly read. What you do is up to you.

If you think that you can outsmart the AMP and make a better result, you might want to just grab a torch
