Check this thing out!  If any of you do alot of bottlenecked rifle reloading this device will be a real time saver on annealing your cases. 
 
This is position number one on my wish list! :thumbsup:

Interesting.

A couple of my friends and I have his case trimmers.  If only he has an automatic resizer..........I'd be all over that.

That's a pretty neat gizmo!  You need to get one, then build or buy automated stuff for the rest of the reloading process.  Then, find a way to cobble them all together into a Rube Goldberg machine and post video!

I've got one from Doug last year(#35). I need to figure out the timing with the Templaq so I can get started on my .223 and .308. Too many projects going on at one time. Next up will be the .300 Win and .338 Laupa.

Don't they provide the dwell time in their manual?

No.

The dwell time will depend on the wall thickness of your particular brass.  Different brands are thicker than others, requiring longer to heat to the appropriate temperature.  Different shapes/sizes/lengths of cases will also dictate various dwell time in the flame.
