    I would definitely suggest annealing every sizing with your current dies, but even this might not be enough to fix the issue.

    Thanks for the info. Might look at new die.

    Don’t be like that I also managed to pick up 100 adg brass to chase me further down this rabbit hole. And have been looking at a amp annealer. Fuck my life !
