Annealing before every reload???

[AWLEAPHART]

I'm reloading for my .284 Win. and the rifle was chambered with a standard reamer so there is a good difference in the neck size when comparing a loaded round vs a fired one using lapua brass. I have been annealing before every reload and everything works out great in reloading and shooting. If I don't anneal every thing goes south. Specially in the neck tension department. Is there anything wrong with annealing before every reload?
thanks Anthony

No, as long as you do it correctly, and it sounds like you are.

Thanks BoB

A good number of folks anneal after each firing. I do it and have found no issues. It seems you have proven it is advantageous for you, so go for it.

I anneal every time too. It is just another step in the process.

I also anneal every loading. 6mm Dasher, 284 & 7rsaum

I have seen some minor accuracy differences with the Dasher, but not repeatable without annealing, or annealing every 2 to 3 firings.

Just feel you are eliminating one variable by having the same neck tension for each reloading. Use a Bench Source and is one the easiest steps in my reloading procedure. Usually run batches of 100 to 200 cases per annealing session.

+1 every time.

I anneal everytime also. I figured just that much more consistency.

Thanks a lot everyone.
