2025 gear game changer- wows!

I think the only thing I had that was different this year was a triad cheek rest for my rifle. Relatively inexpensive, and good for those who are squeamish about drilling holes in your stock. Plus the shell loops are on the INSIDE.

I put one on my wife's rifle this last year and she loves it. I was worried about drilling the stock but then I decided its a piece of plastic and I need it to fit her. With that said I won't drill any of my wood stocks.

Not 2025 but for this year
Will note how effective, but for ease of use 100% awesome.

Curious what annealing gets you? Much greater round count before brass replacement is needed?

I got a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Got the hormones leveled out and dropped 65 lbs. Im moving a whole lot better these days.

Mostly just an excuse to spend more time hiding in my reloading room, and drinking beer.

Brass work hardens from firing and resizing. Annealing just softens it back up

after how many reloads would you anneal?

Precision guys I’ve heard do it almost everytime for consistency. I’d say 4 firings and then anneal

I'm afraid to ask how you like it. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying one.

I plan to just do it every time with this thing. Lightning fast and easy. Alleged way to get very consistent neck tension and increases brass life. I’ve used it a couple evenings and have already done about 800 pieces of brass. 6.5prc,223 and 7-08. I can’t think of how much I’d hate doing that with a propane torch.
