Annealing post resizing and trimming?

[NevadaMike]

Good morning Roksliders. I have some fully prepped 30-06 Remington brass I am about to load up for a friend in Alaska. I am loading a ladder of 180 Accubonds with his preferred IMR4350 not that its relevant. Brass was wet tumbled, FL resized without the ball, trimmed and the neck sized with a Sinclair mandrel. My annealer arrived yesterday. Is there any reason to anneal now? If I do anneal will I need to repeat any of the steps? This noob says tanks in advance.

You can anneal before or after. Doesn't matter. It really comes down to preference.

Post prep ready to load there's no way I'd attempt annealing, especially being the first run through a new machine. Anneal first step next cycle.

I agree with this, and wouldn’t do it if it’s fully prepped.

Probably won’t make much of a difference but at that point I wouldn’t mess with it. Plus when you anneal the oxidation in the neck can cause some sticking.

Post prep negates most of the reason we anneal.

Thanks for the comments. Ill just load them up as is.

I always:
1. Deprimers
2. Anneal
3. Resize
4. Trim
5. Wet tumler

Yeah, I’ve always heard that if you’re going to anneal you need to do it at some point prior to resizing. That’s what the instructions from AMP say.
