@kip13 Annealing is absolutely essential before sizing and after sizing

The sizing will work harden the brass and annealing afterwards will give you better life on the brass
Annealing again ever 3 firings will also help extend their life

I run some pretty unobtainium brass cases and form some down massively.
It would be impossible without proper annealing
