[QUOTE="Cantshootalick, post: 1543163, member: 108358"] Nope. Don’t anneal. Normally went to the dog town with 500 Swift rounds. 200 243’s, 200 22-250,200 223. Always felt lucky just to get everything loaded. Ran 40gr vmax in 22-250 and 223. 75 vmax in 243 and 50 or 55 in the Swift. Had to use some sierra bullets when vmax’s got hard to find. I normally don’t have different bullet weights loaded for any given rifle unless I’m experimenting. Once I find a load that they like I stick with it. Right now I’m testing loads for a 6 cm. And a 340wby. But once I find what they like I’ll stick with that load data for the life of the rifle unless I just want to try something different. Example would be the fact that I ran 40 vmax for years in the Swift, but the wind in W Kansas and SD convinced me to run a little heavier bullet. Always ran out of 243 rounds lol. The Swift bucked the wind bout as well but got so hot (smelled like I was welding) that I would EVENTUALLY switch to the 243 lol. That kind of abuse is what undoubtedly killed my Swift. I’d do it again. I’m a southern MO hillbilly. [/QUOTE]
