[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 567656, member: 8"] If your necks are splitting or if you can seat bullets and pull them out with your fingers then you are past the point when you need to anneal. Brass is an alloy and the composition of the alloy determines the characteristics of each brand of brass. Some brands of brass seem to need to be annealed more frequently than others. A correctly configured bushing die seems to help reduce the need but if your chamber is large then the neck gets worked a lot anyway and the die is not a cureall. For a 308 I anneal after four firing, for the 7AM after each firing and for the two Weatherbys -never -because the extreme pressure destroys the brass before the neck gets hard. [/QUOTE]
