[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2139634, member: 11101"] That depends on the brass. I shoot a wildcat based on the .338 Lapua. If I don't anneal the case after every firing I will split the cast at the junction of the neck/shoulder. For what it costs for the brass, then add the cost of fireforming the brass, I wouldn't be able to afford to shoot that rifle if I didn't anneal. With this cartridge, I tried just neck sizing with bushing dies. Shooting the same powder amount, same bullet, same primer, same lot numbers saw signs of high pressure. FL size the case, bumping the shoulder back a hair until the bolt has a slight resistance to closing the last 1/4 of the way and the high pressure signs went away. [/QUOTE]
