[QUOTE="RUFFIAN R - NY, post: 2435678, member: 121836"] all above comments are ok and give you some idea of what to expect : all brass is not created equal and each batch has its own qualities and how one handles there brass. There is a difference in brass quality and lot quality and by cartridge. Lapura, Peterson, Nosler, IMI, Norma , Rem & WIN etc etc etc. Hunting guns I don't anneal like I do for my target / F-class / benchguns. It does add to the life of the brass along with neck tension and or using bushing dies. I will anneal my hunting rounds when needed. The biggest factor is setting up the die and the shell holder ( again all shell holders are not created the same, may be for the same cartridge but the milling will be different ) enough so to make a difference in shoulder bump , set up has a lot to do with handling / loading of the brass. I keep my shell holder with that set of dies together. Its cheap insurance . A difference of .0010 " here and then .0005 there ++++ all adds up, Consistency is the name of the game . Keep good notes on your brass numbers, batches etc etc. [/QUOTE]
