athlon

needed this a long time ago quick clean up

The little short case adapter works very well for pistol/revolver length cases.
I’m not sure why it’s not included with the main unit, but I have it now at no charge so all is well.

Product is great ! I even purchased another set for a friend!

It is great to be able to prep my cases and anneal on one machine. Works well.

GREAT PRODUCT

Nice to have parts available when you screw up and ruin your torch.

Thanks for including this. Pretty clear from the design why you do and it generally works as planned to protect the wheel from the flame. No obvious effect on the paint or rubber rings after the first few uses (~100 cases).

For 6GT, the brass seems to be right on the cusp so it sometimes falls forward. Haven't tried without the wedge or moving it around and that may do the trick.

This is my first annealer so truly nothing to compare in my hands. But compared to price and capabilities of comparable annealers, this is the best value as it's similar in price plus adds the case prep station. Both work well and have a nice toggle between the annealer and case prep. Truly, the latter is a nice to have as I've always done that by hand. Definitely faster and no apparent quality difference. The only con is that it takes a minute to get the speed and flame set in the dark and sometimes it needs adjusting on the fly as the fule canister changes. That's all explained in the instructions and videos and quite easy.

OK vs an AMP annealer, it could never be as exacting based on design. But, if you are here, you know the vast price difference. I'm not a competitor so can't justify the AMP price. For case life? Time will tell. Uniformity of neck tension, obvious on the first set of brass. The reviews all say it's about case life. Not for me. I was struggling with keeping neck tension consistent after a few firings. With this I'm changing fewer sizer collets to get them on point. So it's a win. The wedge for short cases (6GT for me) is handy to keep the cases off the wheel. It also makes a few fall off the wheel so maybe I just need to move it around a little. Haven't tried it in long action or magnum cases yet but am optimistic. Shipping was decent, packaging was solid, overall quite happy.

Works for 6mm arc.

Just learning about neck tension. This is a much need tool to aid in accuracy by insuring each cartridge had the same neck tightness. I am just learning but I think I understand why neck tension is necessary.
As for the tool.

Works great but there are a couple of thinks that could be improved.

The tool caliber needs to be stamped on the tool somewhere because the tools all look alike.

It would help if the diameter steps could be identified also.

This is a quality tool that should be on every reloaders bench.

I installed mine of the vintage Lyman wooden handle.

Well where do I start.
1. A very good price
2. Packaging for shipping very good
3. Shipping time to the UK very fast.
4. Ease of use, well once the correct voltage was it was very straightforward watched the YouTube video a couple of times and followed the instructions given on that, within 20 minutes I was annealing. . 223 brass like lightening once I had got a timing correctly set and made a note of the new setting then on to the.303 British. .300 RUM. 45/70 and the. .338wm .458wm and next week I have 500+ 338 Lap to run through it.
Just dial up the setting and off you go, I can't praise it enough, heat transfer on the caese is about 1/64" to eachother. Spot on burstfire very good and well thought out with the attachment motors on top. With that said I have to get back to it only a couple of thousand more cases to get through 👍👍

This is a great addition, the only problem is the short cases ( when the machine is fully loaded some of the cases tend to fall off and mix with the already annealed cases. To solve this I made a GATE to keep them in place . I think this is such a great product I plan to trade in and upgrade to the induction model .

makes perfect anealing so easy and fast. the case prep station on top is great too, im happy with the purchase, highly reccomend. Easy setup

I purchased the Burstfire annealer after shopping around for about a year. I'm glad I chose the Burstfire annealer. So far I have run 500 .56-50 Spencer, 500 .44 Russian and some .50-90 Sharps brass. Also ran them thru the case prep tools on top. I got the shorty ramp and the top tray with the annealer. A couple of adjustments between calibers and away it goes. You can't overload the hopper or gravity will take over a cause the brass to bunch up but once you learn the ins and outs of the Burstfire annealer it's a great machine.
