Reloaders, especially those manufacturing various wildcat loadings, rejoice! Creedmoor sports (yes, the name is rather familar to those same reloaders) has announced the release of their “Annealing Made Perfect” Induction Annealing Unit for reloaders to easily form brass cases, removing the common flame forming for the safer and more accurate induction method.

For serious wildcat reloaders, its common to use a common propane torch or similar active flame to anneal the brass prior to forming. This can be very dangerious, due to the open flame and heat involved. The Annealing Made Perfect unit uses induction coils, a common method in large manufacturing to heat the brass prior to forming.

The machine is the result of over three years of experimentation by the father and son team of Alex and Matt Findlay. By using induction, which can be tightly controlled, the Annealing Made Perfect machine has detailed and advanced settings including specific programs for the cartridge, case brand, and even if the cases have been neck turned down.

The Annealing Made Perfect Induction Annealing Machine is available and Creedmoor Sports carries all the pilots for the majority of loadings from .17 Hornet all the way up to .460 Weatherby.

The machine itself is available directly from Creedmoor Sports with retail pricing pegged at $1099.95
