[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1354652, member: 11011"] good question CaptnC , I'm really not sure how to tell if you over anneal , I've never seemed to have this problem . I've read guys say that after annealing the brass would not hold the bullet tight , so I'm assuming the brass lost all it's spring back from over annealing . I've read guys talk about slightly squeeze the edge of the neck with vice grips . I think they are seeing if the brass has some stiffness and also springs back . I think the reason for vice grips , instead of pliers , is the vice grips can be set so you don't over squeeze the neck . I don't have a good answer for you , maybe one of the other guys will speak up on this . I'd be interested in reading their thoughts . [/QUOTE]
