this isn't made up info
as for anneal brass YES
but again,
I am stating that fire forming NEW factory loaded ammo to a MOD chamber, , your NOT having the chance to anneal it, as its live loaded ammo!
as for why I used a separate chamber, it was to just get brass formed, and NOT spec MY rifle I planned to use it in, BUT darn close
and after that once loaded in my shooting rifle, it was then formed to MY chamber on THAT rifle
Makes a bit more sense there when you state the use of
factory ammo first. It's a rare occasion that I start with factory ammo. I buy my components and build my rounds from scratch. As far as case head separation and neck splitting goes, it's rare unless you are trying to fire form a .25-06 case to a 6.5 Gibbs or something like that where there would be a ton of forming to do under stress. Moderate shoulder bump from a .25-06 to a 6.5-06 AI would put very little stress on the case.
