These annealing conversations are almost funny. They almost all sound alike and almost every time I start doing my own internet...

That's a BIG if and no way to quantify that. That is where the faith comes in.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It gives me something more to think about. How many firings do you do in between annealing?

Do you have a list of junk brass?

What I have found with annealing is that unless you anneal after every firing and work your load up doing this, it takes one firing on...

Necks expand very early in the combustion sequence, so, having uniform neck thickness is virtually moot. Many believe the neck has 2...

I have a very simple method of testing virgin brass and acquiring hardness of said brass in Rockwell figures first and then trying my...

I couldn't agree with you more. Yes there is science in the metallurgy of brass. We all know how it behaves when it is work hardened...

What requires faith is that I am doing a sufficient enough job of annealing that it is actually achieving the goal of uniformly...

Hobby annealing is a bit like going to church, it's all based on faith. I do anneal my cases, but I haven't a clue as to whether or not...

"I wouldn't even consider turning brass for a production rifle. The chamber neck could already be very generous in diameter. Turning...

Thanks for sharing the articles. There is some good information there. I just started to anneal my cases. I haven't even fired any of...

Am I going down a rabbit hole here with no returns? I'm not using this ammo in competition but rather in production made rifles for...

For hunting rifles with normal SAAMI chambers and Lapua Brass I’d say the juice is not worth the squeeze. It’s really hard to improve...

Why not? I seat my bullets all to +/- .0005 without adjusting the micrometer. The ones that are out of spec are fowlers . Your press...
