[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 2176274, member: 4768"] As someone pointed out the need to anneal depends GREATLY on the amount the case gets worked due to how much it stretches during firing and squeezed during resizing. I conducted a test with my 338 Lapua improved. I took a press, dies, etc to the range and shot and reloaded the same piece of brass 12 times. I use custom dies and a tight chamber so I am only bumping the shoulder .002 after firing and squeezing the neck .003. Aver the 12 rounds there was no difference in seating pressure (neck tension) nor accuracy on target. The above said; as some point the brass will be hard enough it will not bump back as much during resizing. [/QUOTE]
