[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 914842, member: 52763"] After doing a lot of reading, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I agree with Gary's thinking a bit more than others, but I also MikeCR's logic. I know there are many others very experienced, but I’m old & can’t remember the names of all of the ones, I highly respect. I recognize them when I see them on other threads. Long Range Hunting is by far the best site I’ve seen. I've wondered though, "Why haven't I noticed any mention of annealing the case necks & shoulders before neck turning." Maybe it is on this thread & I just didn’t see it. The biggest reason I consider this important is because, when the neck is expanded on annealed cases, the neck bore should be more consistently the same size. I also think it would be beneficial if the case was fire formed before doing any turning. I realize that if the neck needs turned the neck wall won't be concentric with the outside of the case after turning, simply because the OD of the neck will be turned concentric to the ID of the neck, which also isn’t concentric. However firing that case a second time should bring everything back into concentricity. I'm even wondering if annealing a 2nd time before firing a second time might be beneficial, since the 2nd annealing would insure the there would be less spring back. I have no experience that says it's necessary, but I have read some Bench Rest shooters anneal after every firing. The only downside I can see, is more time involved & more money spent for fire forming. I suppose it might be cheaper to buy Lapua brass instead, if you can find it. Spencer [/QUOTE]
