[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 2732458, member: 57231"] Nothing. You have a good grasp of the issues. If your prep process makes you happy, then I wouldn't agonize over it. You know what works for you and what it takes to stay stocked on your brass. Annealing is an option that a reloader can consider, not something that will stop you if you choose not to do it. I will agree with one more concept that was being mentioned above... about staying away from inconsistency. It takes some skills and discipline to minimize harmful variation. Dip and flame annealing are not for everyone, just like reloading isn't for everyone. One could argue that someone without patients or skills could shell out for an AMP and call it done without the homework or skills. Annealing done properly is just a part of brass prep and prep is part of a recipe. There are many things to balance and control in your recipe if you are being picky and want to maximize your results. Annealing done poorly (inconsistently), can be worse than not doing it at all.
