i hope you ordered the small wheels to go with your annealeez. that's what the GR takes. as far as color, that varies quite a bit depending upon ambient light. i run it in the garage with the doors closed and the lights out. cases come out looking just like Lapua brass does when you buy it new. i haven't gotten a chance yet to put more than 2 or 3 reloads on any 6.5G case yet. one thing i did notice was on some 6.5x55 ammo that i had shot the cases maybe 5 or more times, then reloaded again, then let the ammo sit for 10 years, when i went back and shot it i had about 50% neck splits. so i think the annealing is proper not only to ensure uniform neck tension, but long term reliability of the case as well.

I am going to keep it simple and get the hang of things before I do any other calibers. I have tens of thousands .223 cases,so I will learn on them. I am sure Ill be doing other calibers by the middle of the week are. If I have time after work that is.
