Thanks Matt for the overview. I can't wait to add this to my reloading bench next to the AMP with the AMP Mate. This tool will satisfy my curiosity on several things. When and by how much does a difference in seating force actually show up on the target...with my rifle, my chamber, my barrel, with my reloading technique of my brass, my bullet, my powder and my primers. Everyone is different, but this tool will show what works best for me...in my unique situation. You guys keep pushing the understanding, the slow removal of the veil between mystery and science. No longer is it black magic, but a simple formula or routine of making the best match ammo for ELR and 1 mile paper that I can. Our own progressions hit speed bumps. I'm glad you are one of the guys helping to clear those speed bumps and allow us to ascend to the next level.
Wow, what a fantastic diagnostic tool. Will certainly give direct feedback on case prep and seating and show outliers and discrepancies. Software looks great. Look forward to optimising some case/neck options for best consistent results. Congratulations, you've hit another one out the park! Not for everyone but for the OCD reloaders amongst us, bloody awesome!
I look forward to BRT getting stock so I can get my hands on this tool. I do have a couple of requests though, Is it possible to export the data into Excel for better analysis and sorting? I have my cases numbered and would like to have the ability to input the starting trace number per batch or per case.
Hi Brett, There is an option to export the data to a CSV file so you can import it into Excel if you want. The program already does have the ability to sort traces by either the peak force, work load or the order they were done of that helps.
@@annealingmadeperfect1257 Was more wanting to input the starting trace No. Say I load cases 1-10 in one batch then cases 50-70 in another batch, I'd like to have the trace start at 50 for the 2nd batch.
@@1868Brett You could just create your first trace and set the starting number to anything you like. We will be adding small features like this after initial feedback.
Great gilding the lily! Good for uniform bullet "pull", but only if case necks are of uniform hardness ( AMP ???). The trace shows the initial pressure rise as the boat tail of the bullet starts expanding the neck, then the slower but steady rise as the shank of the bullet steadily expands the neck, and the final peak as the shank ofthe bullet reaches the effectively thicker neck- shoulder junction....once the shank has passed this junction, pressure drops. Very good micro-analysis of the bullet seating process, but to what pro???, Getting even bullet pull depends on Neck metal uniformity...even with the best uniformity in drawing, annealing, and bullet specification uniformity there will still be tolerances that will cause variations in bullet pull.... I suppose the best one can do is achieve an average pull which gives the best accuracy in a single barrel. I would say the AMP Press is excellent for experimentation and research, but for regular reloading of medium to large reloading is a bit over the top. DocAV
@@johnwilliams1091 Yes, from your perspective. Not theirs. Personally, I am not sure what shooter needs this. I think it is good for testing various processes, but not for the common shooter.
@@Nonedw for what it’s worth, I work in manufacturing. All they’re doing is passing the risk of breaking something along to their customers and saving on packaging costs. I’ve actually bought the AMP II, and I can’t believe how immature their packaging is, and that it made it to me in one piece. For the price point, they need to step up their game and pack these properly.
Stay away from Ikea then.....I think the reason behind the decision to sell disassembled is due to shipping being charged by the cubic centimetre. If someone lacks the skill for such a simple assembly then maybe they need to rethink if reloading is a good hobby for them.

Thanks @B2LEE! We are looking forward to the feedback.
On my, wait till Gavin over at Gavintoobe sees this!
Outstanding. I’m going to have to snag one. I’ve had your amp annealer mkII since it came out and I swear by it. Another fantastic product!

Good stuff as always!
❤ thank you
There is no Sessions button in the menu bar. How do I create a new session?
Very cool tech.
What seating die are you using please ? Thank you. And love your products. Just ordered the annealer ! Can’t wait to use it.

Is the Press available for purchase? Or when do you anticipate it to be?
It will be released late June.

Amp press mate auto feeder lol. 😂
one complaint: this press did not show the balance of my bank account and did not wash my underwear. such a disapointed. lol
It’s stupid to put the assembly onto the consumer. Packaging has come a long way, and this should be ready to go out of the box.
Not really...from their point of view. No additional expense for an assembly line, smaller boxes/ less packaging expenses, smaller footprint, etc...
@@Nonedw for this price point, it should be assembled
