Thomae... This started as an annealing thread. It seems to have taken a slight turn toward "Recipes for the Discriminating Savage Shooter"..

Lord only knows where it could go from here...

If you do come up with some kind of contraption such as the Thomae Auto-Annealer or the like, do share. You never know. There may be a few good ideas here to help the project along.

Personally, I kinda like doing everything by hand. It gives me the opportunity to inspect the cases many times. After a few incidents I had with Winchester products, I use extra caution.
