Annealing causing pressure increase
I understand where you are going with this, but I was very mindful of additional heat. I brought two other rifles to the range to shoot in between. It was completely cool between groups. And I shot very slowly. In fact the first shot in that annealed string of 10 was faster than the last. -

Annealing causing pressure increase
Out of curiosity I just grabbed 2 pieces of brass. Annealed one, not the other. Resized both. Zero difference in measurements, headspace nor neck OD. -

Annealing causing pressure increase
Right, totally understand all that. But I also didn’t think of it changing interference fit. But I sure suppose it could, changing spring back. -

Annealing causing pressure increase
I did check OD, but I don’t remember which group I checked, or if I checked both. The thought did not occur to me, as I don’t see how annealing could change the measurement, but I suppose stranger things have happened. -

Annealing causing pressure increase
Es and SD were comparable between both groups. 25 ish ES and 6-8 SD. Yes, not much of a difference and I normally wouldn’t worry about it except for the pressure signs present in the annealed group. There was probably 50 rounds since last cleaning. It’s not a carbon ring. I thought of that... -

The latter, but the gun sat and cooled for about 20 minutes in between the not annealed vs annealed. -

FL size below .200” line?
This was my plan. Seems I would want to do it before (with no mandrel) in case it lengthened the headspace, and then FL size back to my preferred .002 bump. -

FL size below .200” line?
Yeah. I’ll try that too, but if I don’t want to use the mandrel and just want to size the base of the case I should do that first, and then FL size as normal right? Because won’t resizing the base change the overall dimensions some? -

FL size below .200” line?
Ah, interesting. So it only sizes the bottom 1/3 of the case? I normally don’t like adding extra steps but can live with it in this case. -

FL size below .200” line?
OK, this is more cost-effective. So if I run it without the mandrel, it works just like a body die, right? Bumping shoulders and resizing the web, only it does so further down towards the case head? Do I have that right? -

FL size below .200” line?
Well, I got my first clickers today. OP, did you specifically buy these dies because of this issue? I’m now trying to figure out my best course of action. Don’t want to trash the brass, and I don’t want to bump shoulders down more than necessary. I wish there was a body die that only sized... -

I definitely measure. They were sized the same. -

Annealing causing pressure increase
Oh yeah, I guess you’re right. I wouldn’t have done that, I don’t think. I must’ve annealed before sizing. That’s what I normally do. Nonetheless, shoulder bump would have been the same. -

No noticeable difference in feel while seating.
