Thanks for the input guys. I have 10 boxes that I am going to pull the bullets and dump the powder to anneal. The brass itself is too valuable to just throw away after one firing due to split necks. At the current failure rate I would lose around 67 pieces. OUCH!!!!!!

How about the primers? Do I need to remove them before annealing? I wonder how sensitive to heat they would be?

Thanks again guys for all your help.
