Love to know too where you got the Y connector for hooking up the propane #20 pound tank? Love to get the same setup as you guys have
Thanks Alton Pilgrim

Where did you get the y-connector for the propane and also where did you get the hose and torches? That is a nice set up.

Great idea 427Cobra. That’s certainly better than the hash marks we contemplated in the video.

I use 1/2 inch washers on the torch head shafts to cut down on adjustment time when switching cartridge types, simply add or subtract washers, I have a noted how many washers for each caliper. Good video.

The part about how the time is adjusted, the color of the flame and why that happens is pure gold. IMO too much has been written about neck glow, and too little (more like nothing) about this. Working with a different Tempilaq temperature, on a different location, with heavy walled large magnum brass, in a different two torch annealer, I noticed the flare just at the instant that cases were advanced out of the flames, but at the time did not know why it was happening. For our situation, the annealing was perfect, based on evaluation of shoulder bump consistency and retention of neck tension.
