[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2786265, member: 74061"] I guess if you had to turn necks to chamber a loaded round and you were running almost zero neck tension as a lot of bench-rest shooters do… you’d probably wear out the primer pockets before splitting a neck. But for hard hitting magnums in chambers with lots of clearance for brass to move and work harden there is value in annealing. I was throwing away a lot of brass with split necks in my 7STW, 264 WinMag until i started annealing 13yrs ago. I like the way feels going through the dies, can’t explain it though. So now I anneal all my rifle brass. Even brass I’ve had 30+ years without annealing 100s of 222 and 220swift I bought back in the 80s. I took a day off work and ran them all through the flame. Doesn’t shoot better groups though, at least not that I can tell. [/QUOTE]
