[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2531459, member: 116181"] I typically don't anneal when setting the shoulder back like that, if you need to the brass will tell you by not sizing correctly. Better than than annealing and collapsing the shoulders and having to work the brass before you can resize. I like the sound of the Redding approach after reading about it in the link above. Right now I'm working on a 5.56 to 6mm conversion - I run the 5.56 brass through a small base body die, neck up with a carbide mandrel, then set the shoulders back in an FL sizing die. I get a similar "wrinkle" because the new case has less body taper and the FL die is re-angling the shoulder, maybe an interim neck reduction step would cut down on that. [/QUOTE]
