[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1777876, member: 13833"] I think work hardening is actually a benefit to the case head is it pertains to loose primer pockets. Thats why easing off the throttle the first couple of loads , IMO, gives the pocket a chance to take a set and stays there longer with the case head hardening from firing and sizing. The neck is a different story and is why we anneal but my cases dont fail from the neck first but the primer pockets, as 25wsm noted. [/QUOTE]
