This is why I purchased an Always Perfect Annealing machine for reloading this effort is from Sunday 08/10/2017 with my wife & self shooting our bolt guns.
Most of our Lapua brass is 5-6 years old I do not keep detailed records on each reload just keep an eye on the necks for splits and loose primer pockets but to say they were work hardened is an understatement considering my wife requests her cases are always FLS'ed I just neck & body die my stuff and then TTL all the cases hers included.
Top is my 6.5 x 284 bottom is wife's 308 Palmer brass cooling off after all being annealed just out of the tumbler and ready for the next 5 -6 more processes to complete them as I am supposedly semi retired I get to load all the ammo...........
We both shot 700M I sadly had some reloads mixed up only 2 rounds but that was enough to drop in 2 x 3's very low in the very first application.
No use getting wound up it happened and the usual WTF moment but got plenty of ribbing afterwards for the under shoots.
We then had 2 goes at 1000yd Bench rest which we all enjoy shooting teaches you to read the conditions it is good if you get a switch in your 6 minute sighting period to know where to hold if it does it to you on your 5 scoring shots as the monitor is turned away from you so unsighted shooting.
The smallest group of the day for the C-C 5 shots was 82.5mm (Brett Bunyan) we were using electronics so it does not officially count but will stand as a range record not bad.
I also learnt that out F-open team took out the World Championship in Canadajust recently for the 2nd year running not bad for an island that floats around separated from the rest of the world.
