Induction annealing

I've been watching some YouTube channels regarding precision shooting/reloading.

I first came across a tool called AmpAnnealing, and the pricetag is in the ball park of ~$1500 which is well above what my budget can afford.

I currently use a propane torch, but I came across this DIY induction video today, and I'm going to put it on my bucket list.

I dont anneal but if I did I'd do the old trusty map gas. The way I saw it years ago,
the shell would be dumped in cold water as soon as it was annealed. This guy didn't do that.

That's how I do it now (with flame). I'm still learning and I am a novice at best. Quenching in water is not needed to anneal brass. If water is used it's usually just to keep the base from softening during the process.
