[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 637729, member: 35934"] Possibly. When you work the brass a lot it gets brittle. You soften it by annealing. I have 223 brass on its 30th reloading without annealing, same thing with 357 magnum. Now they are pretty low pressure. I think the Short Mag needs annealing more often, i remember reading it somewhere. For expensive brass anneal every few firings (2-5 or so) for cheap brass wait until one cracks then anneal them all, chuck back pieces. Not sure this really applies but you also might be over working your necks. With pistol brass you bell it before you seat a bullet. If you bell too much your brass life sucks. Your expander ball might be a big large, but i doubt it. [/QUOTE]
