I got into annealing cases years ago. My main reason was for my .243, and then my 25-06. For either of them the necks for whatever reason would split far quicker than anything else I had on hand. It wasn't that I had any shortage of cases nor was there any shortage that I couldn't simply order up another 1K of them whenever I wanted too, I simply got tired of it and did something about it.
With a newer project my 25-06 AI, I purchased 100ea. of brand new Winchester, Remington, and Lapua brass all in 30-06 as it was going to need to be fire formed anyway. I necked them all down to get a good crush fit when I closed the bolt so I made sure that the cases stayed up against the bolt when fired. I took 20 form each batch to start with and did the forming, and fortunately didn't loose any or have any that didn't fully form on the first firing. Then I separated out 10 each form there, and started playing with loads. One set of the 10 I did everything with, I annealed the necks, I trimmed to exact length, and set up my outside neck trimmer and all. I was checking groups at 300yds with these and comparing them to the other batch with regard to load velocity and accuracy. Same loads across the board in both cases.
My results for this particular rifle showed nothing greatly improved with anything I did other than annealing the necks kept them from splitting after 6 loads. In the nothing done batch, I had 2 split the neck at the 6 load, another one after that and three more on the 9th load. After that I concluded that after the 3rd firing I can anneal and keep on keeping on. I am up to the 12 firing on those original 10 that I annealed and trimmed up with all the extras. Since that initial prep however I haven't done anything but anneal and trim to lenght.
What did come as a surprise however, was that I have found nothing was gained with regard to using the Lapua cases over the Win or Rem cases. They will all shoot within 2" with a mixed or straight brand batch. For me that means more than all the other tricks I have tried. I can grab up any of the empty cases, mixed or not, and load with confidence that I will be able to put the bullet within a 2" or better spot at 300yds. That is/was to me intended the goal.
