I have read a number of discussions on the pros and cons of anneaiLng. Yesterday I shot a simulated 800 yd match with my 6BR Lapua brass that has been neck sized 13 x and full sized once at the 10th loading. When I got home I compared the target to one I had saved from a match about a year ago when I used the same brass when it was on it's 3rd or 4th neck sizing. The brass has not been annealed and the 800yd group size is about the same. ( 8 1/2"....nothing to brag about ). The notation I made on the old target shows the conditions were about the same. The batch of 100 cases still look good and I haven't lost any. I guess I'll just keep going
