Or would I be better served to full length size, then anneal, then neck size? Cartridge in question is 30-06.

Take the expander ball out and hone the neck until it won't size the neck down. Anneal before you bump the shoulder back you get a much more consistent bump that way

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
