[QUOTE="JTB, post: 2030278, member: 97196"] I am just saying I have attempted annealing and have found I was not consistent enough at it to improve seating tension over using bushing dies. I have a system that works for me. When hunting season rolls around I use twice fired brass for each rifle as those seem to be the most consistent with reliable integrity. Some of my PRS rounds go 8-9 firings before I toss them. I have a range with plates hanging out to 2000 yards and know each of my rifle/load capabilities before they go in the field. We regularly take deer at 800 yards or more (elk at 700 or more) and I know what combinations work for me. We have only lost one deer over the years and it was a lesson learned on proper bullet selection. I said I know annealing can prove beneficial to those who have mastered it but I have had bad experiences from overly softened brass not holding firm (allowing the bullet to be pushed further into the case or case deformation). I am just offering my opinion on what I have done to help assure my success in the field. [/QUOTE]
