[QUOTE="geocodyrgia, post: 2176295, member: 98212"] In my 6mm Creedmoor I've found annealing I can get as good as 1.5-2" groups at 400 yards while without annealing (first firing after firing the annealed loads) the same load tends to shoot more like 3-4" @ 400 yards. I use salt bath annealing and these results have convinced me to start annealing for every reload. Haven't gone through a bunch of iterations to confirm yet, but the differences across different load tests in annealed vs non-annealed were consistent enough to convince me. BTW, you can get into the salt bath annealing for < $100 if I remember right. [/QUOTE]
