[QUOTE="esshup, post: 587043, member: 11101"] Or rather I should ask how often do you anneal brass? It's been a year since I shot the 7mm AM. The first round that I fired had a few tiny cracks where the neck meets the shoulder. I then fired one of the orig. rounds that Kirby loaded and that one cracked too. I didn't have that problem when I fired the gun right after picking it up, and getting it dialed in. I stopped shooting before I wasted more brass. All the brass is the same lot, and this is the first full house firing after fireforming, which Kirby did. I'm now in the process of pulling all the primers so I can anneal it. How often do you anneal your brass? I hate tossing brass after only getting one firing on it...... [/QUOTE]
