[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1913470, member: 90080"] I always anneal after fireforming. One reason to do this, if using AMP Aztec with new previously annealed brass, you will get a different code number when you anneal prior to firing vs the code for once fired/formed brass. I suppose, if you feel like you need to anneal pre-forming, sacrifice a case to get code and sacrifice another to get the once fired code. I did have 5 cases with split necks out of 125 RWS 270 cases by expanding to .284" and then sizing down to .262 with a false shoulder for my 6.5 Sherman. This seems to be a situation where annealing prior to forming may have saved those 5 cases. [/QUOTE]
