[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2031099, member: 115658"] Looking at stuff like this would cause me to modify my approach using my cheapo setup. Should the brass necks be hard and have inconsistent spring back how can neck tension be uniform? [URL='https://vacaero.com/information-resources/metallography-with-george-vander-voort/1440-deformation-and-annealing-of-cartridge-brass.html']Deformation and Annealing of Cartridge Brass (vacaero.com)[/URL] Quote from above: "Cold working increases the hardness of the alloy dramatically; a 400% increase was obtained going from the fully annealed condition to a 70% reduction in thickness" Apparently thickness refers to the crystal . Annealing every 3-4 cycles sounds good. [/QUOTE]
