- Thanks to Parshal over at the Snipershide forum for the idea for this test. Quick Anneal case annealer "Test 2" is test anneal same case 3 times to see if there are any major changes or to find the average time for annealing. Sample size 5.
Federal brass 223 rem Results - Percentage (time)
Case 1 54% (3.7) 53% (3.9) 52% (3.7)
Case 2 54% (3.7) 53% (3.7) 53% (3.7)
Case 3 54% (3.5) 53% (3.4) 53% (3.4)
Case 4 54% (3.8) 53% (3.8) 52% (3.6)
Case 5 53% (3.8) 53% (3.8) 53% (3.8)
Averages -
Case 1 - 53%, 3.7666666 seconds
Case 2 - 53.333%, 3.7 seconds
Case 3 - 53.333%, 3.433 seconds
Case 4 - 53%, 3.733 seconds
Case 5 - 53%, 3.8 seconds
Averages for all combined -
Percentage - 53.133333%
Time - 3.686666 seconds
Doesn't seem like the cases were ruined and likely are still usable but I cannot be certain. For safety reasons, you should probably discard the cases if you conduct a multiple "test anneal" function.
The more I look into this machine the more I am leaning towards it over the AMP
It's a good annealer for sure, despite the case anomaly detection feature being of limited use (my opinion). If a person is used to a flame annealer and the "glow method" of setting anneal times and aren't bothered by it, I don't think anyone would be disappointed by the Quick Anneal at all. If mentally a person has to have a preprogrammed time set for them based on a case analyzed, the AMP would be for them, as that mental hurdle would be too great for the Quick Anneal to overcome.
Im concerned on the fit for 6BR , shorter than 223 ???@@Evintos

It'll be able to anneal cases longer than approximately 0.750" - 0.770"
Far more better than amp
really interested in the quick anneal, cant find a price anywhere, even on their website. sent them a purchase request. how is the reliability with it? had any issues?
Nope, no issues but I'm only a couple hundred shy of 3000 anneals. The induction coils and power supply unit doesn't seem like it's weakening or have cooling/heating issues. I judge that based on the recorded time settings I have for my cases and it did not need adjustment to get a dull orange glow.
I haven't performed maintenance on it other than wipe it with a clean towel. There's no service maintenance interval in the manual and while there's antifreeze/coolant inside of the unit, I don't think it's supposed to be user serviceable and should likely last a "lifetime".
I don't think they sell direct to US consumers anymore, but when they did, I emailed them direct for a price quote and invoice and it was 18540 South African Rand, which at the time converted into around $990 USD. Now the conversion rate means it's roughly $1051.90 USD.
Now, they'll likely refer you to the US distributor Mountain Forged, which sells it for around $1395, or their UK distributor if you're somewhere around Europe, and I don't think they have a Canadian distributor (so you may have to order direct if you're from Canada), and they may have a Australian/New Zealand distributor, but not sure on that either.
