Those who reply to following i would warn you that i will not change my mind about weather or not to anneal.
For those of you who do anneal your brass I have a couple questions that i would appreciate thoughtful input in answering. Humorous input is also welcome.
I have been reloading for about two years now and have come to the point where my brass (308 Win) is refusing to go through the resizing die. I studied up on brass and annealing brass casings (6mmbr.com/ "the ABCs of reloading"). at present i am using the hornady aluminum cups and a hand drill. Tedious to say the least. I am thinking of investing in a Ken Light BC1000 but have been recently made aware of the Brass-O-Matic.
Question the first: which machine is better? I note that the Brass-O-Matic does not use water to maintain temperature control below the shoulder.
Question the second: I have not yet experienced a significant improvement in ease of resizing using my current annealing practice. What am i doing wrong?
note i use the Lee Precision Load Master for seven different calibers and it works great save of course the priming system. Also i have not yet begun to anneal other calibers as i have not figured this issue out.
Thanks to those who reply and double thanks to those who reply with useful info
