[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1266840, member: 10291"] I suspect that the 12 hours of tumbling with the brass polish could be a reason for the abrupt change in seating pressure. Not to say that your brass doesn't require annealing, but brass hardening(requiring annealing) tends to be more gradual when it comes to seating pressure. My guess is that you will definitely feel a difference in seating pressure if you anneal, but this generally happens, and it is frequently due to burning off residues that has accumulated on the necks inside surface, similar to the increased resistance of new, unfired brass when an expander is used. IMO. [/QUOTE]
