[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 2092716, member: 110615"] FL size every firing. Bump .003. Anneal every firing not for the purpose of extending brass life, but for enhancing neck tension consistency. Really, just ensures all cases are at the same phase of “hardening” by annealing each cycle. We have gone through batches every other or third firing and they last just as long. To extend brass life, load at lower pressures velocity nodes. Usually, when cases head separate early, before necks crack, its do to a head spacing issue allowing the case to over stretch. [/QUOTE]
