[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1885598, member: 38048"] I don't run any expander balls or mandrels in my necks. They are all neck turned to the same thickness so I just pick the bushing that gives me the neck tension I need. If your brass is neck turned they will be concentric just doing this. The carbon got burned into the neck with way more heat than annealing does. I haven't found annealed brass has less carbon. Cases do not build up enough carbon to change your capacity. If a rocket scientist measured the before and after he may conclude there is a difference. But that difference is so tiny you won't see any difference in your loads. As far as telling federal to put carbon in their necks to make their ammo better. I would and they know it would make it better but how on an industrial scale do you get carbon in new unfired brass. As far as it being so accurate that is why not one person at our range competes with factory ammo of any type. The stainless pins cause one other problem. Necks on your brass are going to get thicker. We found that neck turned brass with proper fit start to get to tight in the chamber. There are lots of discussion about this. Shep [/QUOTE]
