    Always anneal after every firing and b4 any sizing.
    I deprime, brush clean inside the neck, clean the outside of the neck and shoulder with Krazy Kloth, clean the primer pocket, and then anneal.
    My annealer is calibrated to a fired case. Annealing a sized case does give a very slight difference.
    Anneal before sizing because the sizing is what hardens the brass, along with firing.
    If you're doing it to prevent split necks same deal.
    Sideshow and mopheadrob like this.
