Thread: Annealing

I always remember the test that a bunch of guys did on Lapua SRP brass, 6.5 Creedmoor. They did the load development up to 43gr H4350 with 143gr ELD-X, which is right on the limit of too hot, then proceeded to FLR / reload / fire until the point of brass failure. Except it didn’t fail.

IIRC they got to 20 firings and gave up.

I looked at that and said 20x 100 is 2,000, for a hunting rifle I’m never gonna have to worry about annealing or any other might-maybe-possibly trickery, and haven’t looked back since. KISS principle rules here.

If I can remember who it was I’ll post the link.
