[QUOTE="Gene, post: 270429, member: 7402"] No matter when you wish to turn necks, first you must open the necks to the same diameter using a caliber specific expander. With virgin brass, this may not be necessary if they slide easily thru the expander. For a factory chamber, you want to skim turn the necks only, stopping right at the neck-shoulder junction. This means you will just barely touch the necks. do not cut down so that the entire neck is bright shiny brass. I anneal after every five firirings for competition cases, as that is when the brass starts to get brittle. I do not anneal hunting brass; replace it when the first case shows a small crack. [/QUOTE]
