[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 435204, member: 307"] Yes, about every 3rd firing. I haven't always done it and just recently started. There was always a lack of or misinformation about it, hence the hesitancy. I use a battery operated drill and perform the operation in a dimly lit room. The amount of time it takes to get the cases where I like them varies but usually runs under 10 seconds per case. I drop them in a tuperware bowl of water when they're there. After I'm done I set them up at a angle so that the mouth of the case is down. I let them sit for a short length of time and then sling the water out of them. I bag 'em and use them as I need them. I have done all the prep work before this stage and see no reason to resize them afterwards. I have not seen accuracy drop off at all by loading immediately after annealing. Here's what I use. Picked it up at ACE Hardware for less than $10.00. Had the drill. [IMG]http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/lorrieken/johnny/IMG_0990.jpg[/IMG] Here are some 7Mag Norma cases that I annealed.
