Neck annealing...

[Bluejay]

Hi gents,
I have started to anneal all of my cases and actually found an easy an practical way to carry out this operation.

Question is: Should I anneal prior to re-sizing and trimming or after these two steps?

Which one do you think is the best method or it doesn't matter?

Thank you.

:wink:

I anneal prior to sizing/trimming. The purpose of annealing is to soften the neck so further operations such as sizing will be more efficient. I also recommend you remove primers prior to annealing, nothing like finding a live primer when you tourch the neck. Use a universal depriming die.Rick.
