[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1632543, member: 36564"] I have done that same test multiple times just a little larger batch. I have always found more consistent bullet seating with annealing. I anneal everything, every firing now. I used to do it every two firings on non-magnums and every firing on magnums but decided to just do them all every load. All my findings are pretty close with yours also concerning ES being lower on the annealed brass vs. multiple fired non-annealed brass. I have found a process that really works for me now. Did away with neck sizing, FL size bumping shoulder around .0015 now. Tumble, Anneal, FL size (with no expander), trim, debur, and lastly mandrel size with Sinclair mandrel then load. Finally found all the pieces of the puzzle and annealing is absolutely part of it. [/QUOTE]
