[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 213093, member: 527"] rufous, The very best thing you can do for your case necks is to use Redding S-Series dies. They use different size bushings to resize the neck "exactly" the right amount without using an expander ball. This really avoids needless working of the brass. They also reduce your case runout. When I use these bushing dies, I only need to anneal my cases one or two times during 20 reloadings. You'll know when to anneal, if you organise your cases in lots. When you first notice a bullet seat with noticably less pressure - anneal your cases. Annealing is good for your brass only if you pay attention to the details. It's best to rotate your cases when heating them. Otherwise they can get bent. Also don't overdo it with the heat. Remember, you only want to affect the case neck. - Innovative [/QUOTE]
