[QUOTE="GeorgeS, post: 1678671, member: 107925"] jshepherd61 makes a good point: if your cases are once-fired, annealing is unnecessary. Cases only need to be annealed to offset work hardening, every 3-5 firings depending on the peak pressure of the round - high pressure more often, and more often for full length rather than neck resizing. It's a function both of the firing stress and the amount of reworking done to the brass by the resizing die. [/QUOTE]
