[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2582830, member: 101791"] Case separation has nothing to do with annealing. Neck splitting, but not case separation. I mostly shoot belted Mag rifles. A very long time ago I use for FL size and would lose cases in 3 to 4 firing with case separation. I changed to only neck sized them, and didn't have that problem again. I would lose the case do to primer pocket after that in about 10 to 12 firing. I am guessing you are FL sizing the cases. I would go to only bumping the shoulder back 1 to 2 thousands at time of resizing. I went to neck sizing back then, but I going to change to bumping my shoulder back as stated just above. I do feel you are loading on the hot side of chart. I use 75.5 gr with 165gr bullet using H4350 powder and a 210 Fed primers. Primer pockets were my problem after that. Annealing is a good thing, and every time is even better. If I didn't anneal I would get neck splits in 3 to 4 firing back then also. I annealed and never lost a case to neck splits after that.
