Quick Anneal
- Thread starter big bear
- Start date
We have three guys in Sask running them. Out of the three guys, three units have had major problems upon arrival or within the first 500 cases annealed.
I think the performance is great when they work. Don't rely on it working when you receive it, though.
I do prefer operating it compared to operating an AMP. It is easier for the human to operate. Also, it is easier to automate.
It's super nice being able to anneal any case without having to buy and stock dozens of pricey adapters.

Looked at that brand But GLAD I bought a AMP ! Done 1000 s of brass now with ZERO problems . JMO RJ
Mine works perfectly. It's easy to operate and fast.
I have an Annealeez machine. It's way easier than a rotary type and only requires one torch, so it uses half the propane. The speed is extremely easy to adjust and the loading tray is nice because it can run for 6 or 8 minutes by itself without needing to be constantly fed.
A friend has an AMP, which is an excellent machine but it is kinda slow and clumsy to load. The price is crazy and the need for expensive inserts for every different case is ridiculous.

It's not just money - a propane torch and a drill are free, because we already have them - it's consistency, not having flame around my loading area, the bulk of the automated flame annealers, etc. Any induction annealer is much more convenient, repeatable and safe, IMO, than the flame options, although if I was doing 50 brass once a year I'd just do drill-and-torch.
I jumped on the Quick Anneal because of cost and simplicity. For example, have a look at the AMP's Rube Goldberg device for automatic feeding, then look around at the many tips and tricks to make that device work somewhat reliably.
As a bonus, after ultrasonic cleaning I don't need to dry the brass. Just shake it and anneal, which steams off any remaining water. On the AMP you'd occasionally be dripping into the device, which seems like a bad idea.
The Quick Anneal has a two year warranty and they claim Canadian support, so I'm not too concerned if there is a problem with it.
3 of us bought them in our shooting group. 1 had an issue with a sensor that couldn't be fixed but after a few emails it was sent back to the Canadian dealer and was replaced with a new unit. Now all 3 units are running great. All 3 are automated and running dillon case feeders. I have 1000 rounds annealed with no issues. Just set the annealer, turn on the dillon case feeder and walk away. If your doing high volumes of match brass it a big time saver over the amp.
You MUST be Pretty Dexterity Challenged to Say that !
the machine is FAST and EASY to operate ! 
Your only truth is it’s expensive . RJThe cartridge case colour change is consistent, sizing and seating feel consistent. I don't have the fancy pressure gauges to graph everything.
Yes, and meanwhile the AMP is 2,250 at xReload before tax / shipping. Which if the AMP is what you want, is fine.
The Quick Anneal cost me R18,615.00 which was $1420 CDN to my door (before tax, but shipping included) direct from QA. I can't say anything about Bighorn pricing.
