[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1642714, member: 104268"] Glad to be of help. The annealed brass [U]definitely[/U] went slower. I meant to mention that result in the initial post. I think this alone proves that something is happening to the brass during the annealing, which contradicts the results AMP published. Based on bullet seating feel, before even going to the range, I suspected there would be a[SIZE=14px] velocity loss. The annealed brass seemed to take ever so slightly less force, and seemed to be a little more smooth and consistent as the bullet went in.[/SIZE] I attribute the lost velocity to slightly less neck tension, therefore a little less pressure build before the bullet is released. These loads were pretty wimpy, as I used an old recipe developed with a different lot of H1000 and newer brass. I'm probably gonna do another identical experiment, but aim for another 100-120 fps. It will be interesting to see if the same trend occurs with a substantially friskier load. [/QUOTE]
