[QUOTE="jmason, post: 268290, member: 10486"] Bob will have a better more knowledgeable answer but I'll take a stab. I think you do need to anneal. You may get away with stepping down a bushing size but you run the risk of splitting necks(when fired after this sizing) and ruining the brass. You may know already how many firings you can get away with before that happens. I have had splitting on the fifth firing in the past. I don't enjoy the whole brass prep deal, so anything I can do to avoid those 1 time only tasks with prepping brass, and stretch case life is good. I am new to annealing but I can tell you it's not difficult at all as BB has shown you. You may ruin a piece or two the first time you do it and that's about as bad is it gets. You can see in BB's video you only need heat on the brass for about 4-5 seconds. When it looks like the brass is about to set fire (note the flame about to start in the video just before he pulls the brass out of the fire)your done. [/QUOTE]
