Wow! We have at least 7 pages of annealing in the last 2 months and never once has anyone explained the need for annealing? Or explained why it is necessary? I am a case former, there was a time when I thought nothing of necking 200 30/06 cases up to 35 Whelen. Problem; when necking up 30/06 cases to 35 Whelen the case shortens .035". etc. etc. meaning there is more to this boring story that has no value to most reloaders.
There is no excuse for that, the first thing I want to know is the results.
The first thing I want to know is the part about being necessary and then there is that part that determines if it can be done.
