I started annealing brass

[Gary]

I shot long-range precision and my brass was showing neck cracking at around reload eight. I started annealing at reload four and problem solved with my brass lasting longer and neck tension became more consistent. If you're doing serious precision reloading, annealing is not optional forever. Add it when your volume and precision demands justify it.

Annealing feels like overkill, right until your brass lasts longer and your groups suddenly stop arguing with you.

 Annealing really changed how I approach brass. I used to toss cases after six reloads, now I’m getting twelve or more without problems. That consistent neck tension makes a huge difference, especially when you’re going for precision

I started annealing when my 6.5 Creedmoor brass started sticking at the shoulder and it was a game changer for consistency. So now I use an AMP press but if you’re careful, the salt bath method can work too. The brass lasts way longer.

Once you start annealing, it’s hard to go back.

Ah yes! Once you start, you stop trusting factory brass like it owes you money.
