[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2615513, member: 1521"] Ackley improvement can be a pretty big change. You can crack some cases. And one of the changes is to reduce body taper. In my opinion, a good process anneal (which is not full anneal) is prerequisite to a quick, reduced trouble forming. This, applied from case mouths to ~halfway down the body. Salt bath annealing provides this with a setting of ~850degF. This softens the case enough to reduce cracking, form well, and still provide normal spring back for proper extraction. [/QUOTE]
