Exactly, yet annealing is done by shooters who absolutly tell me it improves their groups. These same shooters are running custom Chambers and matched brass as well.
I know far more F class shooters that anneal that do not.
However Many well know Winning l9ng range shooters say " anneal every time or not at all"
I learned to make 6mm International brass for 300 meter shooting when I was young, and the brass was initially annealed when forming only.
I anneal my Snider brass and the brass for the 40/64 once when forming it ,as well as the 8.15x46R Shuetzen then fogedaboutit
The AO 6mmBR rifle was chambered by fps plus , and one lot of brass has close to 20 firings on it now , with accuracy and case life being stellar , with four lost cases only in 175.
That brass will still shoot Vbulls for me up to 900 meters if I make a good wind call . Same as my .223 Wylde chambered RPA match rifle .
I am a firm believer that annealing will not help my scores at my age - not that They could not inprove, but i need to concentrate on other things first.
However if a person thinks it will help it may just do that Cat
