[QUOTE="mtelkhntr78, post: 294688, member: 14518"] I anneal after every firing of a case. The reasons for me are pretty simple. 1. It helps me keep consistent neck tension thus increasing accuracy. 2. The process really doesnt take that long. I have a set up that in about 15 min I can have 50 cases done. Considering I spend much more time in other case prep, whats 15 min? 3. I get to play with fire. 4. Its easier for me to track. I know that after everytime its fired it gets annealed so I dont have to try and guess or figure out how many firings it has been since the last time it got the heat. 5. I truly believe it really really extends my case life. Since I included this in my loading process I have yet to split a case. 6."Rich DeSimone, who holds the 5-shot IBS 1K world record, advocates frequent case-annealing: "On my 1,000-yard cases, I anneal every firing." As quoted from "6mmbr". I figure if you hold or held a world record in shooting you have some idea what you are doing. I am a copycat!
