[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 298186, member: 2736"] What Roy said !!!!! Brass work hardens like other alloys and must be annealed before they become brittle. Just firing a cartridge is not the only time your working the brass, Every time you size and then expand it to grip the bullet it gets worked. Each firing requires that the neck be expanded and compressed a minimum of 3 times so in reality before the third firing your brass has been worked 6 times. It is the same thing as taking a piece of wire and bending it back and forth until it breaks. buy bending it and then straightening it back out you are work hardening it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
