In the beginning I wasn’t shooting a lot (maybe 10-30 cases). Started with the drill/torch method and while it seem to work I had inconsistent results as my shooting increased (inconsistent seating pressures) which affected my tuned loads. Went to a Bench Source (flame) annealer and it proved to be consistent until I started shooting ELR and FClass, I sold it and bought an AMP annealer. I shoot thousands of rds/yr (6 calibers). I know it’s expensive but it is the one item besides my scales that I have proved the most beneficial items of my reloading process that I’ve the greatest return on my investment. Most of my brass I get anywhere between 12-20 reloads before discarding and then it’s only because of PP’s loosen.  Clean, Anneal, FL size, Clean off lube and trim/deburr.</p></blockquote><p></p>
