[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2907574, member: 15054"] I have annealed thousands of cases of different sizes and a machine in the wrong hands or right hands not being set correctly will be a fail. But I have also annealed same make and lot number of Lapua cases and annealed for different amount of time in the flame.. same distance from flame. You have to be off quite a bit to make any difference in seating or bullet holding forces. Yes I checked seating pressures of annealed cases that were in flame for 6 seconds and up to 24 seconds. If you want what I think you want you will need to anneal every time. I anneal my cases every time. There was a time I did not anneal every time and I would have an unexplained flier.. or one or more cases from the same lot fired the same amount of time would exhibit different seating forces when I seated the bullet. All my cases get measured for Neck ID before seating a bullet. Annealing every time eliminates the .0005" difference you may find or .00025".. yes very little difference. At short range you will not see it on paper.. you get out 200 yards and farther it shows up. get to 500 and you really see issues. You probably know all this. I anneal all my cases by hand. Pin tumbled before annealing. No machine. MoBoost anneals also and no machine. When I say unexplained flier from not annealing every time ..I mean there could be 1 hole on paper that took a 1/2MOA group and made it .75 or 1 MOA. One friend seen a 5 shot group of mine and I said if it was not for that flier.. he said it does not look like a flier to me. You get ate up with the accuracy bug and a shot 1/4" away from the others starts to eat on you. Handloaders disease. [/QUOTE]
