[QUOTE="1Moose, post: 1389006, member: 74044"] I have to admit that I haven't learned how to anneal yet (worry I'll inadvertently heat the case too much and create a problem I can't see), and I've only been full length sizing for all my cartridges. I know many neck size for their hunting rifles (this one is--though I haven't neck sized any of my cartridges), but I figured FL sizing would ensure I never ran into an issue in the field. I've been attempting to minimize shoulder bump and see if I can get acceptable brass life in the process. That said, with what could be pressure signs (extractor marks), I started to get nervous about the brass. Sounds like your reloading procedures are working really well for you in your 7RM. I'll use the paper clip technique in the future. I was worried I might not notice any problem signs with that technique so didn't use it. Tough hobby to be self-taught! Appreciate the insights.
