[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1182157, member: 1521"] Annealing is best done every time, -or very rarely. I lead dip process anneal, which is perfect, but a pain in the butt. Given this, I anneal prior to first fireforming(if reshaping the case) and then decide at 30 or so firings whether to re-anneal, or start over with a new batch of brass. So far, I re-anneal and have yet to lose a case. To qualify this I'll mention that my chambers and custom dies are tight enough & matching to do this. My cartridges are also good designs(reloading-wise). I couldn't do it with something based on a 109yr old 30-06 design. And when a system comes along that's as good as lead dip AND more practical, then I might switch to continuous annealing with it. But that system would have to include actual tension measure rather than seating force measure. We're not there yet.. [/QUOTE]
