[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2176288, member: 117774"] There are so many factors affecting case life that it's hard to predict the benefit of annealing. If you typically load close to max charges like I do, the primer pockets on my brass go south after 6 to 8 firings. I believe case wall straightnes and shoulder angle have some affect on the ability of the case neck to keep from splitting as less of the brass is "moving" from shot to shot. But, that said, I have a friend that shoots many thousands of ground rodents every year and he anneals after every 3rd or 4th reload and he gets twice as many reloads out of his brass. He doesn't load extremely hot, but stays in the middle to prolong barrel life and brass life. [/QUOTE]
