[QUOTE="RD57, post: 2030429, member: 103010"] Annealing is very beneficial in forming/modifying one case into another (ie. 220 Swift to 220 Wilson Arrow). I have never been able to get consistent headspace until I do it. So there are times when it is necessary before the first sizing operation and other times when after every 3d firing it makes a difference for my brass. If you start with soft nice brass like Lapua and mild loads you may never have to anneal, but with the some of the tougher and thinner brass out there (LC and Winchester) you may find it beneficial after every firing. Let the brass, your reloading technique and group size (and wallet) dictate if and when it's needed. [/QUOTE]
