[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 2032197, member: 1403"] I'm not sure I buy into this whole annealing thing...I've been loading and shooting over 20 years, never annealed 1 single piece of brass. My brass typically lasts at least 10x for any given caliber from 240 WBY to 300 Win Mag with .002" bump. I've never had split necks or had any issues obtaining 1/2 MOA. If anything, the primer pockets eventually loosen up before anything else gives. I dont even tumble brass anymore, clean brass doesnt make groups any better either... Few swipes of 0000 steel wool around the necks and done...Just more time and money at the bench...I like to shoot far more than I do sitting at the bench. My 7-300 win mag brass has 6-7 firings on it, havent lost any, pockets are still tight, and it shoots an easy 1/3 MOA. Good enough to win an 1100 yard match with it few months back on 6x fired, never annealed, untumbled brass. So what exactly would I be gaining from buying a several hundred dollar annealer? I just dont buy it...Then again, I'm not a BR shooter. 1/2 MOA is plenty fine for any LR hunting rifle in my book. [/QUOTE]
