As always I am Mary Mary, quite Contrary....
I have done both, but long ago, settled on Annealing it AFTER I size it.. it being my last step...
Since I have a habit of having batches of brass in a lot of calibers seeing 50 plus reloads...and I have a habit of doing it as far out as every 4th reload.. and over the last 5 years or so, on hunting reloads.. each time.. even if just neck sizing..
guess in conclusion, to not argue with the gentlemen above... I'm not seeing it make any different..
My method is just based on what is the easiest flow for me.. nothing more scientific than that...
but with getting 40 and 50 reloads plus out of brass.. with few casualties, I guess I'm not doing anything wrong...
few guys push brass as far as I do.. but then I find, you don't floor your gas pedal at the powder scale... needing max velocity.. and the brass is stretched back and forth less.. and it hangs in there longer....
and I've been doing this for close to 30 years now I guess... just for times like we are currently experiencing once again, with another Commie DemocRat idiot in the White House....
