[QUOTE="RD57, post: 1360685, member: 103010"] For me I have found annealing is required before forming some manufacturers brass from 220 Swift to 220 Wilson Arrow e.g., and then after every 5 firings because the chamber allows about .005" neck expansion. For my .223 Remington Sako 75 whose case neck only expands .003" I anneal after 10 firings. My thoughts are if you observe inconsistent bullet seating force then there are inconsistencies with your case necks that need to be addressed, annealing being one of them. In my experience I've found no standard answer as to when to anneal, just too many variables among chambers, dies, manufacturers brass, neck thickness, etc. [/QUOTE]
