[QUOTE="montana_native, post: 365191, member: 12881"] I hope it didn't seem like I was casting stones at Buffalobob. Given it was my first try, I am the only one to blame. I think that most of the stuff I annealed will be OK. I don't think I got it as hot as I initially thought I did...at least with the 7 mag stuff. I believe the 223 brass to be shot. I ran the brass through a full length sizer with expander ball twice and it helped quite a bit with the neck tension issue. The primer pockets are still nice and tight. I took it out and pulled the trigger with a string for 5 rounds to see if there was any adverse affect. Then I fired the rest of the loads as usual. I ended up with the best groups I've ever had out of the gun with no problems. I guess the 30 rounds of 223 that I discarded are a cheap learning experience. I am confident the 7mm stuff is OK. I will have to use those welder's color sticks in the future. Thanks for all of the discussion. [/QUOTE]
