[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2261226, member: 69478"] Do not anneal the base of the brass!!! That can cause a catastrophic case head failure/separation. The case head is hard and solid to prevent the case from failing. The PRC brass issue is due to the brass and SAAMI spec reamers and dies being poorly matched. The cure is a reamer with a bigger base diameter or a die with a smaller base. You may have to get new brass with your new die since the case heads have work hardened more than normal. [/QUOTE]
