perhaps you mean 750ºF
475ºC (880ºF) would be too much
475ºF would not anneal (it takes 1 hour at 600ºF)
An affordable brass annealer?

Can the temp reached by the brass be estimated by color? I've wanted to try the electric drill method, using Tempilac seems fine for low volume, but impractical for higher volumes. Annealed brass looks to be purple/blue. Is there a color chart for brass, or is it the same as steel? Also at what temperature do you get some annealing, assuming that some annealing is better than none, or too much.

Targets aren't scored by velocity read outs.... alot of shooters are assuming that numbers generated by a Chronograph relate to LR accuracy. Sadly, that is not always the case.
Bullet holes are what you measure and analysis and adjust your load tuning from. I am currently at a Match and shooting with some very good shooters. Ask them their velocity and they will just ball park you a number. They don't really know....it really isn't that important. What matters is having load tuning that will hammer the center out of the target at 1000yds.
If it seems contradictory, it isn't once you spend more time shooting at distance then measuring velocities. You quickly find velocity stats to not be as important as some discuss.
And when you are looking at your targets at 1000yds, you quickly find the parts in your reloading process that matter. Consistent neck tension does matter. How you set up and maintain your shot to shot consistency is entirely up to you but I know annealing is a step I will continue to use... until some other process gives me a better result.
And you also need a rifle system accurate enough to show you the variations.... in the pits, alot of the 3 1/2" spotters have holes in them....

Lapua brass is the easiest to anneal. It seriously changes colour when you get it right. Goes from brass to almost chrome then back to the factory anneal colour as it begins to cool. Usually between 3-4 seconds

From ITAR:
Catagory III, Amunition/Ordinance
(3) Equipment and tooling in paragraph (c) of this category does not include equipment for hand-loading ammunition.
Some (including Giraud) are lacking critical thinking skills. Dillon, Hornady, etc. Progressive Loading machines are not ITAR controlled; what gives people the idea that an annealer (which plays no critical function in the reloading process) is?

the annie induction annealer is probably your best bet, but it's not cheap.
I personally hand drill anneal my match ammo, but it's a real annoyance to do 100 that way.
I would like a way to process auto-anneal my 3000 or so cases of 223, but you know what, I just don't bother.

Just an FYI.
Ordered Annealeez a few weeks ago, after merchant said he would very regularly ship to Canada and Australia, without a problem as he would declare everything properly.
Just received a notice saying the Annealeez is held at customs since June 14th.
I do not know what this means for me yet, to be followed.

means you're likely gonna pay some money to get it. Duty, gst...call it what you will. Maybe not but, highly likely.
If it's only that, the deal is still good, or at worst i end up with no deal but have an annealer.
If they confiscate with no compensation, i would be furious.
As i had wrote an email, to the owner of annealeez, asking if they are properly set up to ship intl in a legal manner
Which he replied yes
So far he seems like a great guy, just don't want to be out of both machine and money

What do you mean by "received a notice" in the Mail? or its just saying held at custom on the tracking website? that's normal for pretty much all packages, sometimes takes 1-2 weeks. I'd be very, very surprised if it didn't make it through.

The seller is the exporter from the USA, you are the importer into Canada.
If it is being held by Canada CBSA, it has obviously been exported from the USA without issue, and the issue is with the importation. I would say you have no reason to complain about Annealeez.
So your over reacting over nothing?
