Does anyone know of a company or business that will anneal cases? I'm not talking a few
cases, but a few hundred.

Thanks

OB,

Hypothetically, you could get a nice, decent sized aluminum roaster tray filled to the proper level with water and do about 50 cases at a time or more yourself. You could go through about 300 cases fairly quickly like this. Maybe an hour or so.

I don't know of anybody that has a "service" to do it for you and I think it would be cost prohibitive at any rate.

FWIW

I have thought of buying the equipment and annealing to help pay the bill. What would be a fair price? If I thought I would have the business I might make the investment, but couldn't justify it for my own limited use.

Thanks guys:
I guess I will just have to anneal the cases myself, a little at a time. I wouldn't have any idea of a fair price to have them done.

Jim Saubier has an article on annealing with a contact by the name of John Delozier at http://www.saubier.com/smallcaliber/caseforming.html

John Delozier's email is given as 59boy@tqci.net

He does some commercial annealing for 17 caliber cases and might be able to assist you.

I hope this helps.

Javelina:
Thanks for the info. After reading the link, I called Woodchuck Den and talked to them about annealing and ordered their annealing tip.

I have one of his anealing tips and prefer just using a torch and spinning the case. Flame was not even on his tip. Perhaps mine was defective, never sent it back to find out.

I made my own version of their tip, and it works quite well. IMHO, they charge way too much for their tip, and as Rob noted, it isn't a very well made tool.
