EP INTEGRATIONS FORUM!

Just recieved the EP annealer this week and it worked great for my 17H and 204R. I used the glow method in my basement room where I set it up. Thanks for making a great product at a very reasonable price.

I have to say that I am quite impressed by this annealer! As a lower to mid volume shooter, the EP 2.0 is perfect. Very easy to setup and operate. All I can say is WELL DONE!!

Just finished working with settings for 218 Bee brass (mix of Winchester and Reminton) an a new 2.0 machine. The brass is being annealed to hydroform (Hornady hydroforming die) into 218 Mashburn Bee (reformed case neck from 15 deg to 30 deg) prior to fire forming in rifle. The brass wanted to slightly climb away from the resting stopping bar. Pulled away may 1/16 of an inch from the stop bar. I will play with the stopping bar on the next run to see how it works. Will not be able to hydroform and case form for a few months. I hope the hydroforming and annealing process with help save some of the brass so it does not split. I have seen pictures of people losing some 218 Bee brass to double splits and I want to avoid that as much as possible. The settings for the annealer was 39-41 depending upon where the flame was hitting. This is fairly small and thin brass so it has to go faster through the process. Once I got the feed ramp set the brass dropped in without issues. It was a little finicky due to the small case length. I will be able to hopefully post some pictures next week.
