Thread: Annealing brass

Yes , the reason I have developed a sudden interest is my 120gr Nosler load has gone south used to easily be 1/2 inch now lucky to get an inch
The Federal brass has been reloaded many times and it was suggested to me it may need anealing so need to find out about it.
Barrel should be ok, it's a 6.5x55 Sako, probably fired less than 1k rds.
Thanks.

If you have fired close to 1k rounds, the lands would likely have burned away quite bit as well. So apart from what you are checking with your brass, also have a look at how much the jump to the lands have increased since you developed the load and adjust your seating depth accordingly.

Check out the Ugly Annealer thread I put up.
Worth looking at for the price.
