Quick Anneal® Model 2 Brass Annealing Machine – South Africa

The Quick Anneal® Model 2 is a precision induction brass annealing machine used by reloaders and long-range shooters across South Africa. Designed for consistent case neck and shoulder annealing, it extends brass life, improves neck tension consistency, and delivers repeatable results for every reload cycle. Available in South Africa through AST Ballistics, with the option to add the AST Quick Auto Feeder for a fully automated reloading workflow.

Why Brass Annealing Matters for Precision Reloading

Brass work-hardens with every firing and resizing cycle. Without annealing, case necks become brittle, neck tension becomes inconsistent, and brass life is significantly shortened. Annealing restores ductility to the case neck and shoulder, resulting in:

  • Improved shot-to-shot consistency

  • Extended brass lifespan (clients report 28–42 reload cycles on the same brass)

  • More stable and repeatable neck tension

  • Improved long-range accuracy

  • Reduced case failure and splitting

Annealing should be performed after every firing cycle, before resizing. This controls springback and ensures accurate shoulder bumping and neck sizing every time.

Induction Annealing vs Gas Flame Annealing

Unlike gas flame annealing, induction annealing delivers controlled, repeatable heat without open flames or butane. Gas flame annealing can scorch the case exterior, is sensitive to gas pressure fluctuations, and produces inconsistent results across a batch. The Quick Anneal® system uses electromagnetic induction to heat precisely the neck and shoulder area — no sacrificial cases, no pilots, no guesswork. The result is uniform annealing across every case, every time.

AST Quick Auto Feeder – Automated Case Feeding System for Quick Anneal® South Africa

The AST Quick Auto Feeder is the dedicated automated case feeding system designed specifically for integration with the Quick Anneal® brass annealing machine. Built and supported in South Africa, it improves workflow speed, consistency, and efficiency for precision reloaders who require faster, more repeatable brass processing.

By automating case delivery into the annealing process, it eliminates manual handling, ensures uniform case spacing, and delivers consistent heat exposure across every case — every time.

Why South African Reloaders Choose the AST Quick Auto Feeder

The AST Quick Auto Feeder reduces manual intervention in the brass annealing process, giving precision reloaders faster cycles, less fatigue, and more repeatable results. This results in:

  • Faster reloading cycles with less manual effort

  • Improved consistency in case handling and heat exposure

  • Reduced operator fatigue during high-volume reloading

  • More repeatable annealing results across every batch

  • Better workflow efficiency for serious reloaders

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Quick Anneal® used for?

The Quick Anneal® is a precision induction brass annealing machine used to restore ductility to brass case necks and shoulders, improving consistency and extending brass life in rifle reloading.

How does induction annealing work?

The machine passes brass cases through an electromagnetic induction coil that generates heat in the metal itself — targeting the neck and shoulder area without affecting the case body.

Does annealing improve accuracy?

Yes. By standardising neck tension across every case, annealing ensures more consistent bullet seating pressure, which directly improves shot-to-shot consistency and long-range accuracy.

What calibres does the Quick Anneal® support?

The Quick Anneal® Model 2 supports calibres from .17 Remington up to .408 Cheytac, .416 Hellfire, and .470 NE — covering virtually all rifle reloading applications.

What does the AST Quick Auto Feeder do?

The AST Quick Auto Feeder automates case delivery into the Quick Anneal® system, eliminating manual feeding. It improves throughput, reduces operator fatigue, and ensures consistent case spacing for uniform heat exposure.

Is the Quick Anneal® available in South Africa?

Yes. The Quick Anneal® Model 2 and the AST Quick Auto Feeder are available in South Africa through AST Ballistics. Units are manufactured per order with a lead time of up to 21 working days.

Can I buy the Quick Anneal® and Auto Feeder as a combo?

Yes. AST Ballistics offers a combo deal including both the Quick Anneal® Model 2 and the AST Quick Auto Feeder at R21,500.00.

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"Time Saver"

“I never realized how much time I was wasting until I started using the Auto Feeder. It completely changed my workflow. Now I can anneal consistently without constantly feeding cases by hand. It’s fast, reliable, and just works every time.”

- Francois

"Flawless Feeding"

“The Auto Feeder is a game-changer. Setup is simple, and once it’s running, it feeds perfectly without jams or inconsistencies. Paired with the Quick Anneal, it gives me repeatable results and lets me focus on accuracy instead of process.”

- Willie Scott

"Highly recommend this"

“If you’re serious about efficiency and consistency, the Auto Feeder is a must-have. It saves me hours, reduces fatigue, and keeps everything running smoothly. It’s one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my reloading setup.”
