[QUOTE="MTbackwoods, post: 1952669, member: 113441"] To those who asked, I burn the 💩 out of my fingers when I anneal by hand. It’s not pleasant but you do what you can with what you got. I anneal for 338 RUM, which isn’t as bad, and 7mm, which burns a lot. Like I originally stated, I know I’m probably not getting quite to where I need it to be. However, my 338 has an ES of 6 and the 7mm has an ES of 17. The 7mm will improve with the new, properly sized expander ball but I am seeing zero negative effects with the way I’ve been doing it. But I will try annealing before resizing and see how it goes. I always de-prime, tumble, FL size with a .002” shoulder bump, re-tumble, anneal, trim, debur and chamfer, then load [/QUOTE]
