[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3734778, member: 5412"] Ok, now we know you're looking at rifle. That changes the game. I'm a brass whore, Tons of the stuff on shelves at home so I just pitch the ones that are damaged for whatever reason, but if one is down to 20 rounds of ammo that you have to reuse time and time again or some exotic foreign brass for elephant guns, I might think about it. Competition shooters certainly don't use full power loads, so the brass isn't stressed like those that shoot full power rounds. Straight walled cases use a tapered crimp in pistol and sometimes rifle. If you are using a repeater, you might want a little roll crimp Your mid-range loads should have zero issues with the brass life though with the proper taper crimp, but as stated a little roll crimp for peace of mind is OK if you want. The only issue might be with factory brass that is defective that annealing won't have any difference with. [/QUOTE]
