[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2097691, member: 78569"] There is a really good conversation about the science of annealing that happened here awhile ago. Good info if you can find it. It has an 'over' and 'under' annealing discussion. I tell beginners, "consistency is what we are striving for." If you are getting consistent results without annealing, then keep doing what you are doing. I think at some point, that consistency will fade. Brass will eventually work harden. Then the options are annealing or tossing the brass. Why not try annealing to avoid buying new brass? Over the last year, or two, I've annealed every other firing. Now I'm wondering if I should do every firing or wait longer. Needs testing. [/QUOTE]
