[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 2732356, member: 117869"] The most important factor is that it is done consistently. Yes, brass life is one reason to anneal, but getting consistent neck tension is what you are shooting for by annealing, if of course you are aiming for long range accuracy, pun intended. So if you are getting necks/shoulders to the same temp for the same amount of time, consistently, then you should see consistent neck tension. Based on my research, you should be shooting for 1050F -1200F degrees for about 2 seconds to get a partial anneal/stress relief. Even 1300F for 30 min did not produce over annealed brass based on the studies I have seen. [/QUOTE]
