As promised I am writting a review for my newly purchased AMP annealer. I will start off by saying I don't usually write reviews so please don't judge my poor reviewing and writing skills. I also have never annealed a single peice of brass or seen someone anneal brass before so this will be a beginners review.

Here a picture of the box as it was shipped



It was packaged pretty good definitely tight so nothing would move around. Here is a couple pictures of it getting unpacked and everything that comes with it.








This machine seems like it is built really solid and was so easy to use within 15 minutes of unpacking I was already annealing some 338 lapua brass. Its actually really surprising how easy to set up this thing is basically you plug it into the wall look up what pilot you need and the setting for your calibre and brand of brass. Press the plus or minus buttons till you get the to the setting you need. Screw in the proper pilot. Put your shellholder in the supplied holder. Use the shellholder to put your brass in the pilot and press start. Done.

Here's a couple pictures of the 338 lapua I annealed.

Overall I am very happy with the results of this annealer and the simplicity of it when I bought this I was really hoping for a nice dummy proof system for myself and that's what I got.

If anyone was any questions about this annealer I will try and answer them to the best of my ability.

Thanks Ryan
 
Looks like they are made in NZ. Just under $1400 from the Canadian retailer...
I'd want a few more features like an auto feed hopper and sorter from a piece of equipment like that for the price.
 
Looks like good consistent annealing!

I have an Annie induction annealer - less than $500 US from Fluxeon. Not as elegant in that you hold the brass neck inside a flux coil (I have both the solid core and water cooled coils), and you experiment with the annealing time, but you see the brass as it anneals, so you can see if it glows for any length of time (over annealed). I use 750 and 400 degree Tempilaq to confirm that the neck gets annealed but not the case head (which could dnagerously weaken it).

The Annie also works for 50 BMG which was a requirement for me.

Overall the AMP looks like a great unit, and thanks for the review and excellent before/after photos.

The days of annealing over open flame are gone with these options available!
 
Very Nice, If I could afford it that is what I would buy, took all the guess work out of annealing.
Did you send in any of your brass for teting?

Thank you for the review. That's a great tool. It make sense for the cals. like you are loading.
I'm not quite there but good to know that unit works so well.
 
Around 300 perfectly annealed 338 lapua brass, and 50 7mm Remington magnum, and a few 308 win no hiccups at all this thing works awesome.



I'm going to be sending 2 different brass samples in I will see how long it takes to get results. I will post when I get them back.
 
By using there lab to test the hardness of the brass. they give you a program setting this will give you a perfect anneal every time.The controllers are calibrated to milliseconds. Using templaq u will get variations and not have the accuracy that the AMP unit provides. I have been using a unit since July and do not regret buying it one bit! It is the best unit out there!
