[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2785813, member: 106845"] I do fully believe annealing needs to be done right in order to get the full benefit and consistency from it and that comes from experience both by doing (multiple methods) and by research on the process and science itself. I do agree that if it’s not being done right/properly, and each piece isn’t getting perfectly annealed, you’d actually be better off not annealing and letting the brass just work harden. As long as your steps in reloading are the same, the brass will remain consistent to one another, you’ll just be increasing the effects of the work hardening on the brass as you go. Of course, if you’re using lower tier brass and it’s inconsistent on thickness and other areas, it’ll continue to be inconsistent as it work hardens and neck tension can vary as a result. The fix there is just use top tier brass 😉. So with all that said, I recommend to anyone that if you’re going to do it, do it right or don’t do it at all. [/QUOTE]
