For various personal reasons, I decided to up my reloading game this year. I figured annealing was the place I needed to start. I didn't want to mess with torches or mechanical devices of any kind, so I landed on the AMP Mark II.
It weren't cheap, but as far as I could tell was the best available on the market today.
It has "Aztek" mode which analyzes a sample of the brass you are using and determines the perfect setting for that model of brass. Once it has analyzed your brass it give you a code to use for that particular piece of brass. There are slight differences I have noticed when analyzing even different years of LC brass.
It seems to work very well and is fast with very little hassle. The larger the case the longer the process, of course. But none on the larger cases I did took very long at all. So far I really like the unit and look forward to seeing how it improves my consistency and hence accuracy.
Below is a short video of the process with three different samples of brass. Changing brass is as simple as ensuring you have the correct shell holder and installing the appropriate pilot into the AMP unit and start rocking brass.
