[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1608512, member: 77249"] Working brass with sizing and seating does harden brass some. Another thing that will harden brass is tight fitting necks holding the bullets by friction only, That is why factory and military loads are crimped. They use little neck tension and crimp bullets in case so the necks won't tension harden and crack in storage. Military specs. calls for a sealer on the primer and bullet also. Annealing is the only cure for split neck losses I have found I can depend on. [/QUOTE]
