[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1544746, member: 105"] JE put it better than I could. He's waaaay smarter than the average bear too... ;) I never went the anneal route though. I always just discarded brass at about 8 firings or when it became, in any way, hard to chamber or visual inspection revealed any kind of flaws. With magnum cases I rarely fire more than 5 times before discarding. An interesting note... I had a Bushmaster upper with a target 24" barrel in 223 a few years ago and it was so accurate I got called a liar fairly often and had to drag it out and prove that I could put 10 shots inside an inch at 100 yards. One of my secrets to get that kind of accuracy was... Drum Roll..... I used the Lee Collet die (neck size ONLY) for brass prep after tumbling in walnut media. I would never recommend using brass prepped that way in a semi-auto defense or hunting rifle but I never had any problems with it and I fired around a thousand rounds that way from it. I threw the brass out after 8 firings. Conventional wisdom be damned... Full steam ahead... LOL [/QUOTE]
