[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2597685, member: 11853"] Here are a couple of things I've noticed about brass.I buy a lot of once-fired brass.The first couple of times I load it the brass is still soft and I have a low percentage of run out without annealing.I also noticed once I got a Frankford Arsenal Trim and Prep Center,around the fourth firing when I was deburring and chamfering,I noticed I was getting some chatter because the brass was getting harder.Once this occured,I also noticed I was getting a higher percentage of runout on my loaded ammo.This is telling me that seating a bullet in a case that is hardened may result in a higher runout.After about the fourth or fifth firing,you start getting more case failure issues.Some people anneal after every firing and really that makes a lot of sence after what I have observed.I personally don't,but I think it should be done by at least after the third firing.
