Good deal. As far as annealing goes I do anneal hard to find brass. We had a stretch where 7x57 brass was impossible to find and my brass was on more than 12 firings so I annealed it with the slowly turn in the fire of a propane torch until I could feel the heat in my fingers halfway down the case and drop case on a towel. Doesn't take too long with 60 pieces of brass. That said the cases are doing fine and I am going to anneal ever 6 firings or every time I have a neck split. Of my Grendel brass only Hornady seems to split necks sometimes on the first or second firing. I anneal it pretty soon after the first firing. If it splits on the first shot I don't want it anyway.
