Re: annealed???
I think annealing is going to be a good way down the list of things you'll need to learn as you begin your research on reloading. But check out this guy's work:

Re: annealed???
I agree with queequeg, safety and learning the basics of reloading should be your first priority. Not to say you already have. With that out of the way annealing will help you get longer life out of your brass and will help with accuracy. By letting the brass form to your chamber easer when fired without stress on the necks. When annealing do the upper third of the casing. They have machines that will do it but they cost $1,500+. The poor boy way is to seat the case in water ¼ the way up the caseing,next using a propane torch heat the case to a even light blue then tip the case over in the water then clean and trim if needed.
