What's such a big deal about posting a couple of pics of some ratty looking Remington 223 brass?
Well it was range pick up brass, and I did an experiment ( originally with 10 pieces, but 3 got screwed up at the reloading press by operator error )
But using a regimen of neck sizing with a Lee Collet Die, and bumping the shoulder back every 4th or 5th time with a Redding Body die and Annealing every 4th time.... and shooting 55 grain bullets thru a Rem ADL....
These pieces have been
reloaded 101 times... primer pockets are still tight enough to reload again...
a little prudence at the power scale ( loaded with 12.5 grains of Blue Dot), I find max at 13.5 with that bullet weight...
So to Anneal or NOT to? Count me into the Anneal Your Brass Camp...
