[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1817025, member: 1521"] Ok, so consider annealing and tension for a minute. You should develop your load with a neck tension that you will be running with. Tweaking of this is part of development, but you need to be careful not to chase your tail. Don't just anneal for the sake of that, while the important thing is actual results from the load. Some cartridges/loads reward higher neck tension than provided by softer necks. It won't help to be cracking these necks, so you need to stop doing that. You do this, and hold hardness more stable, with lower sizing. Barring this, because you are not applying any plan, annealing can be a blessing -provided the cartridge/load likes it. [/QUOTE]
