    Yes and a good option - ironically enough, this whole thing has started because I know a guy who anneals and took some cases out to him to get him to do them - but in talking to him I thought I should be able to do it myself. I think it's just going to take a little practice. I did the crush test last night and the necks on the ones I've done are very, very soft. You can really tell the difference. I'll assume I've ruined these cases as it's possible the case heads are softened. That seems to be the most important consideration. Anyway, thanks for the input. The other option would be just to discard cases after 8 to 10 firings and save some time if not money. But if I'm discarding them anyway, I might as well practice annealing them before discarding. Ha ha.
