[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 643502, member: 39764"] The other varible in the equation is the relationship of the neck diameter as it relates to workhardening, I've seen no mention of case neck annealing in this thread...yet. Jeff regularly anneals his .338 cases. Brass, much like aluminum, looses it's elasticity when worked. Thought I haven't begun to reload .338 brass yet, I will at some point, so annealing will be part of that regimen. The only question is how often. I'm pretty sure that Jeff has a benchmark on frequency of annealing as it relates to case neck tension and cracking. Just collecting once fired cases now... [/QUOTE]
