i now have some thing different coming

what you got coming ?

I've never bothered with annealing before but just started using the old school drill and torch method for lack of anything else. I don't know if it's really doing anything, but it can't be hurting, as I am onto the third size/firing of the brass and and getting consistent results and neck tension.

I bought one of the Salt bath kits years ago but never used it and probably won't bother.

All you gotta do now is throw away the expander. Huge difference. Froggy knew what he was talking about.
