[QUOTE="jdmecomber, post: 1413727, member: 94549"] I spoke to Richard Window about the tests he ran. I asked him about annealing after two firings of not annealed brass. I advised him I saw two very good 5 shot groups of SD and ES that came from brass that wasn't annealed until after the second firing. He stated that was common after annealing. So I am going to do one more test, with the anneal after two firings group. This group had an SD of 1 and and SD of 3 which were the 1st and 3rd best groups out of the 25-5 shot groups. Once the new brass was fired (fireformed), the next 5 shot group didn't do very well if the brass wasn't annealed for the next firing. The amp and torch annealing 2nd firing groups all had respectable es and sd, but the 3-5 shot groups that were not annealed after there first fireformed shot were not good at all. The three groups had extreme spreads of 46,33,31. I think if I anneal that group after the first firing and then anneal after the next two firings it will beat the AMP annealing group of annealing every time. I will try to do this today. I am going to use the same new Hornady brass. This group will look like this. Group 1 5 shots of new brass not annealed Group 2 5 shots Amp annealed Group 3 5 shots not annealed Group 4 5 shots not annealed Group 5 5 shots Amp annealed I will try and get a 6th round but I doubt the brass will make it.
