[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2139081, member: 3230"] I always thought new brass gave reduced velocities, but last week I chrono'd some Lapua loads with new brass and got exactly the same velocity as old. FWIW, I anneal every time with AMP and use a mandrel, but that said, new brass always seems to have higher neck tension; perhaps that "evens" things out. Again, it was only one test. [/QUOTE]
