[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1469860, member: 1521"] With all things human we mutate to extremes. The problem with this is that best is usually a balance (not an extreme), as nothing in this realm is free. The useful function with annealing is normalizing energy levels in brass to consistency -through reduction of that energy. We don't remove all the energy (full anneal), but reduce it to useful (process anneal). That's a balance between hard and soft. The potential price in this is the reduction of energy, which manifests as lower neck tension. If load development in this condition leads to good enough results, then you gained benefit without detriment, but this is not predicted,, it's tested. Another potential price is in the effort itself. If you don't consistently anneal, correctly, then the function of it is compromised from the git-go. There is no predicting, nor credible suggestion that frequent annealing is the best action, without local testing. [/QUOTE]
