this is a little long but hope some one can help.
I see a lot of people setting up there new home made annealer with 223 brass. i am getting out of run and gun action matches but my grandson is starting to shoot it. i have aleays used brass i piched up at the range. after i swadge the primer pocket and trim, i mark it with a felt tip pin so i know it has bend procesed and not have to do the primer pockets again. i am starting to see some of my cases get split necks. i think it is from a lot of reloads. picked up some behind a friend that was spliting and he said he did not know how many times it had been reloades.
i am about finished making my annealer and was going to do a test with 223 brass. i would start with 10 rds of the same once fired brass. pit a file mark on 5 to anneal. anneal that 5 and then size , trim and load all10. shoot them and anneal the marked ones and reload the 10 again and shoot. i would keep doing this untill i got splits and hope the annealed ones hold up good.
what do you think about this test? this will also get me working with the annealer and working out any bugs before i stare annealing my 6br brass.
