[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2176271, member: 61747"] It's interesting how many people give out info that is just weird on so many levels. Brass life is tied to abuse. If you run a load over pressure brass is not going to last more than a couple shots and sometimes you destroy a primer pocket in 1 shot. Annealing is for removing the work and fire hardening of the neck to prevent premature case failure in that area and to control neck tension. He is 100% wrong about 6.5 PRC brass if he is referencing neck splits. I will easily get 15 reloads. He is also wrong about the need to anneal. At 4 reloads, on the 5th, there has been a distinct change in neck tension as the neck is pretty hard in my testing. I was originally going to anneal 2-3, due to being lazy, but decided to just stick with anneal every time. [/QUOTE]
