[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1297268, member: 1521"] I agree with your expectations with a good consistent process annealing of necks through upper bodies. Be sure to find a load that works well in this condition(lower neck tension). Here you may have to get your bullets in the lands(ITL) to get the gun shooting better. If you decide to FL size necks, and hold any expectation of consistent neck tension, then you might as well invest in the best annealing you can buy, and seat shallow as you can to get bullet bearing away from donut brought into play(by that sizing). Again, the best choices would include consideration of cartridge, chamber, intended loads, and possible expectations about use, brass life, performance, etc. With cartridges, chambers, and sizing I run with, I only anneal before 1st firing, to get best forming. I never anneal formed cases again. Re-annealing would only serve to send me back to load development, and while I'm satisfied with my loads, there is no reason to cause all that. If I were shooting something like a 7RM, I would plan body-bushing sizing, annealing at a constant rate, and load development with that condition as stable. [/QUOTE]
