[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 603772, member: 8873"] I do find this interesting. I'm sure that the annealing and minimal sizing help extend the life, but as far as I know would have nothing to do with the primer pockets remaining tight. That brass must be some good stuff. Especially since your load seems pretty standard to what others use (close to max) and around what other Edge users get with same performance. I still have the question about improving a cartridge and brass life. I thought I read somewhere that if you take the taper away and sharpen the shoulder that the forward flow of brass is lessened (less case stretching). I'm sure neck or minimal sizing helps that as well. I think I need to get into annealing as well considering my brass probably gets work hardened by necking up before I even load the first round.
