[QUOTE="misterc01, post: 1992817, member: 109160"] Thx. Except for annealing and dry neck lube, I followed all the steps you listed. With Wincheaters brass, my concern is if I turn them, I might have to take some to less than .013 thickness, and that seems a little thin to me. I have not researched a minimum neck thickness. but will as soon as I finish this. The Fedrals were only on their third firing, so it didn't seem annealing at that point would be needed. Trim length per my manual is greater that 2.015, mine were only at 2.010. The Federal necks measured .015. I use a match grade bushing die, and only FL size once-fired brass new to me. I have seen very little brass growth and no donuts. I have some non-annelaed Hornady brass on their fifth firing with no sign of impending issues. I have the capability to anneal cases, but have not felt it needed to date. What is the recommended number of times fired is annealing warranted? I have read articel sayinf everything from after every firing to after every fifth, and everything in between! What do you do? Again, appreciate the time and thougth in your comprehensive reply!
