[QUOTE="ddgo, post: 195097, member: 10383"] [b]Anneal it or chunk it[/b] Brass work hardens itself with each firing. So neck tension is a progressive thing. On brass that is hard to replace, (tight neck chambers ect) I will anneal every 3rd or 4th firing. I use wilson seating dies on these guns and can feel when seating the bullets any noticeable difference in neck tension. If it is a factory chamber, I would be inclined to chunk it and replace it. But annealing will prolong the usable life of the brass. ddgo [/QUOTE]
