[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 422193, member: 12514"] I can see how Neil feels his dies do not need annealing as they are custom dies that do not move the brass very much during the resizing process. I am doing my brass in 100 piece lots. I think if I do not anneal, I will have very consistent brass for 100 pieces. As I progress through the brass, everytime I shoot the brass is going to get a little stiffer. I can also see that after 5-6 firings the brass is going to move less as it gets harder requiring a smaller bushing for spring back. I see no reason not to anneal my brass if it trips my trigger :D. I cannot see how the custom dies will be affected by annealed brass either. The brass should simply go into the die a little easier and would not need a smaller diameter bushing due to spring back of the harder brass. I also need to say that this is why I like Redding dies so much. I can only neck size until I need to bump the shoulder back a little. By doing this, I am working the brass the least. My NJ dies are full body dies. I modified my Redding dies to work with the 338LAI. They work just as good as any of my other Redding dies. I just hate to shelf expensive custom dies I just recieved :rolleyes:. This is why I asked the question, just in case I was missing something. Broz, your opinion always counts! [/QUOTE]
