I have had this annealer for a couple of years and have not had a lot of time to reload and shoot due to two young children, so I'm sending it down the road. I've corrected the two biggest issues with this Giraud Annealer per the popular fixes that can be found on the internet.
First, to fix the hyper-sensitive potentiometer that came on it, I installed a multi-turn potentiometer with a lock so that it is much easier to adjust the time-in-flame and lock it in.
Second, I installed a pressure regulator and gauge to adjust the flame more easily and so that the gas pressure doesn't vary as the bottle empties. Just dial in the pressure that gives you the best flame, and the regulator will keep that pressure steady.
In summary, here's what is included:
Giraud Annealer
Feed wheels, to fit 6.5 CM and 28 Nosler
Trolley plates, to fit 6.5 CM and 28 Nosler
Upgraded potentiometer
Pressure regulator and gauge
Instruction manual
$400 OBO plus shipping if outside the Lafayette area.
Please PM, if interested.
