[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 794573, member: 39764"] IMO, you are playing 'devils advocate' by annealing via pie pan/water method, but then, I won't be in town until Monday, business calls, My posts will be via laptop and Bluetooth. I'm having issues with the F/L resize, I stuck one in my comp die, no biggie here, I arbor pressed it out. Not every case, in the hundred I ran, I had 10 that didn't feel right. The first one I pushed and stuck (ripped off the base). After that, I just set them aside and went back and Neck Sized them and then F/L resized. I can tell by the 'feel' if it's gonna be a bummer and I should not have pushed it. The cases I have, LC13, are all over the place as far as sizing resistance and COAL after resizing. Some are trimming just a tad, some are trimming a lot. I'm setting them all to 2.005 right on the bean. I have a Redding micrometer trimmer that I modified to a power drive. It's a good one for holding case lengths. I went through them all this evening and no neck splits whatsoever.... other than the one I ripped the base off, I have no culls. No saw brass, not even a dented case mouth and unlike yours, the anneal is very visible. Was a good buy for range brass. I really like Lapua anything. Expensive and worth it. I order all my preloaded rounds from HSM/IQ and specify Lapua brass on everything. [/QUOTE]
