Cheap is ok. I’m cheap too except when it comes to my time. I never use to anneal because most of my shooting was pistol. Now that I’m shooting cast bullets in my rifles, shooting a lot of them, and paying a lot for good brass, those cracked necks are getting really expensive. It will pay for itself in about 5 hours of my time and pay for itself again the first time I run all my brass through it. That and it was a birthday present I bought myself!
