[QUOTE="BillR, post: 365457, member: 462"] I've used the annealing method with a propane torch for years without a problem "UNTIL" one day when I was doing my .25-06 AI tight neck cases. When I went to seat a bullet the bullet just dropped down in the case. Really scratched my head over that one as I used the same method I had always used. What I found and what solved the problem was I removed the decaping/sizer rod from my dies and re-sized the case again this way and the problem went away. The ball was dragging on the soft brass and actually expanding the case neck out too much after it had been annealed. Never had this problem again as I just now re-size and de-prime the cases then anneal them and then remove the rod with the expander ball, resize it again and then I get good neck tension again. Some of the cases have been annealed as many as 10 times as I anneal those every time to get exactly the same neck tension shot to shot. [/QUOTE]
