does anyone do this
Not with Lapua brass...
Lapua anneals as a part of the manufacturing of the brass. So no need to anneal new Lapua brass.
Thanks

I don't shoot the dasher so I have no knowledge there. I anneal after every firing, but i never anneal virgin Lapua brass; however, I always run a mandrel though virgin brass to make sure that the neck tension is appropriately set.
Thanks

At what point in the process does Lapua anneal? Just guessing but I would think it's before the first step in producing cartridges. If that is the case the cartridge is probably well on it's way down the work hardening path.
I anneal every piece of new brass, use only Lapua and anneal after every firing.
Easy peasy with an AMP!![]()

Cases have to be annealed several times during the forming process due to the amount of cold working...

I realize that but is the brass annealed before the last step in the process, before the second to the last step?
Just saying that annealing when you buy it is cheap insurance, especially with an AMP>
It’s annealed when the amount of cold work has reduced the material’s ductility to the point that it would likely crack during the next forming operation. As the case reduction schedule is likely proprietary, and varies between manufacturers, it is not possible to definitively know when cases are annealed. I’m all for developing processes that work for each individual... best wishes with the AMP!
My point, thus I anneal, takes about 10 minutes to anneal 100 6 Dasher cases.![]()
Love my AMP! makes the whole process so much easier!At what point in the process does Lapua anneal? Just guessing but I would think it's before the first step in producing cartridges. If that is the case the cartridge is probably well on it's way down the work hardening path.
