[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1442810, member: 10291"] I also prefer to leave a carbon residue inside the neck, tumbling with corn cob or walnut media. My neck tensions run .0015-.0025”for most of my loads, paying very close attention to be sure my seating pressure is light, smooth, and consistent. I have been able to keep runouts and ES very low. I prefer to avoid annealing whenever possible finding that the more resistant surface structure that results inside the neck wreaks havoc with achieving the consistent seating tension I’m able to achieve simply leaving the carbon surface left after tumbling. While a controversial subject, I’m not totally convinced of the virtues of annealing, and feel this may be dependent on the particular brand of brass that is used. Being an alloy, they are not all created equal. [/QUOTE]
