Full length size as the cases can be used in one of three similar but not identical rifles Cases that have been shot 13x are indicating that they need trimming.
Lapua don't recommend annealing for their cases. It's really personal choice, find a system that works for you and your rifle(s).

As this reloading "session" is just for one 308 rifle I find your comments re annealing interesting. All of my current batch is Winchester and in clearly two quite different coloured brass. both fired once only. Cursory checks so far show that one colour is well over the max whilst the other is mostly spot on..............curious.
