    Next time I fire any one of my rifles I'll take a pic of 2 cases and the end of the case mouths I'll then anneal one you will notice as I did that the resultant heat from firing makes the brass look a whitish colour which I take to be hardened you'll see as I have.
    The annealed one will display the deeper brass colour after being in the AMP machine.
    It has definitely stopped neck cracking as the brass is not work hardened by the dies or firing I usually anneal after sizing its bad enough to lose a case through a head separation than have to contend with cracked/split necks.

    You guys that run gas guns and full auto's your brass is cheap as chips and easier for you to source so who cares if you lose a couple each time out here with limited factories we have to outsource from over seas.
    You think you've got it tough with dried up shooting supplies try and be in Australiaicon where you cannot get much of anything remotely related to reloading or powder, so if I can save cases by annealing them I will every time I fire them......
    We have not been able to get R.P 303 brass for the last 3-4 years which I use the only other brass is Hornady which is very expensive or Sellier & Bellot equally as dear.

    As far as "Never seen a rifle" the Turks and the Germans in both WW's certainly found out that allot of the ANZAC's were very adept at shooting them seeing as they had grown up on farms and shot for the pot roo's/pigs/rabbits/ducks.
    Most Aussies then and now have had some contact with firearms in our lives.
