[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1585644, member: 74670"] I may have started out annealing right but I do know I was not constant. Unfortunately, I found some videos and began following the process used by those who did it wrong. Heating until the shoulder and neck were glowing orange. It wasn’t until recently that I found the right instruction showing timed constancy in process and taken them to the right color prior to burn off of the some of the key materials in the case. This resulted in inconsistent neck tension and other issues. I also had a bad habit of not keeping my brass sorted. When I realized what I did and the issues I was having, I pulled the bullets of those I annealed, adding them to the rest that I suspected were annealed wrong and then tried to sort them. However, I found it impossible to determining which were over annealed, which were right and which were under annealed. If there is a process to determine this I would like to know. All I know is I started having neck tension issues, wavy shoulders, Neck case folding in on resizing or bullet seating, noticeable bumps behind the shoulder on some and in some cases would find the whole case shortened from multiple of these issues. Frustrated, and having that glowing orange image burned in my mind of the annealing mistake, I pulled all of them out of my reloading process and bought all new cases. [/QUOTE]
