[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1469669, member: 90080"] I anneal after each firing on some and after 2-3 firings on others, let the target tell you when. I FL size only and try to use dies that only reduce fired case dimensions by .002-003", at shoulder and above web. This, somewhat reduces work hardening. Use the same amount of lube on each case and same stroke on press. I hold case in die for 5 seconds, as the dwell makes for consistency. I lightly brush necks, apply Dry Imperial with a Q-tip and run a .002" under caliber mandrel to set my neck tension, holding a 5 second dwell. My seating on every case is butter smooth and I have very low SD & ES. I've been using mandrels for 7-8 years to sweeten neck tension for standard & bushing FL dies, couldn't be without them.
