[QUOTE="blitzfike, post: 1574779, member: 94525"] Anneal after necking down to 6.5. Annealing before results in about a 50 percent failure on military brass. Definitely need to turn the necks and use the small base die to FL resize them. I did about a hundred cases when I couldn't get factory brass. I much prefer to use factory brass for this. If you don't turn the necks and have a tight throat as I do, they won't chamber after being loaded. Brass was checked prior to loading for proper fit to chamber. I ended up pulling bullets and turning necks to get them into spec. GO for it, everyone needs to experience converting brass at some time. [/QUOTE]
