[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1238301, member: 1521"] That's 8thou sizing per cycle x 18 cycles. I would think the sized portion of your necks is hard as a diamond by now. Surprised they haven't cracked yet. With bullets expanding these necks 2thou, I would think your seating forces must be pretty high, and your tension very very high. As long as the load likes this, it's ok I guess. But that much change with reload cycles would mess with MY loads. My velocity would climb, my tune would disappear pretty early in it. Given your scenario, I think most reloaders here would recommend process annealing here & there. I don't like to do a lot of annealing myself, preferring to manage conditions where it isn't needed, but in your condition I would. [/QUOTE]
