    When I first loaded 303B with a press, about 15 yrs ago, I was using 1940s or thereabouts CAC Boxer primed brass and 170gn cast GC boolits. I was very new to reloading rifle. I did 10 with no real...

    I do own and use my AMP machine and what convinces me of why it's so Good is the science behind it all. The book that Alex wrote gives an amazing insight into how it all came about and why it is...

    AMP will tell you that their machine actually makes the brass softer than is ideal, knowing that you are about to size the case. Sizing then brings up the hardness to the right point. So dong the...

    He doesn't actually say the the sizing process doesn't cause alteration in ductility, just the firing process has a more a significant work hardening effect. However, I have one Ackley chambering....

    Whilst I agree amp is the gold standard, I wouldn't go as far as to say anything else is ineffective, I have been hot salt annealing for a while now and like everything in reloading consistency is...

    To be fair any body that is thinking of annealing needs to look at the AMP website and get some scientific data on annealing.. The blow torch method is proven to be an ineffective hit and miss...

    Not sure what effect annealing after sizing would have, but another +1 for annealing before sizing over here.

    Always try to anneal before sizing - this way you'll be able to control the spring back after sizing. Most reloaders does not use a decapping die and thus sizes the cases to remove the primer...

    Annealing before sizing is the way to go. Annealing after sizing may prevent neck cracking on firing and even neck tension leading to improved accuracy in extreme cases. Sent from my iPhone...

    I've always annealed before sizing, can't say I've heard of annealing after sizing ?

    I re-size either FL or neck then anneal. Works for me. And start annealing after 2 or 3 firings.

    Load em up, sizing is what does most of the work hardening.
