[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1160708, member: 44168"] YES. I buy factory ammo, fire and then neck size 4 times (that makes 5 fireings), I then anneal and fill length size. So far, since I started this I have 120 FC 7mm rm that have had 11 loads each through them and they have just started showing some loose primer pockets. As for the pockets I have placed a steel ball just larger in dia than a primer on a vise held the brass on it and placed a steel rod in the case, taped the rod and the primer pocket s have tightened up. (a tip that I read here) Also you need not buy a machine dedicated to annealing, 3 seconds over a small blue flame to the neck and shoulder area is all that you need. I use the butaine lighter that my wife has for creame broulee (but we wont tell her that) [/QUOTE]
