Just went to load some shells and ran across a batch of cases i was playing with about a year ago and getting the hang of case forming.
Anyways they were 308 and i formed them down to 22-250 but did not go any farther because i dont have neck turning equipment yet and they were just range brass. The thickened necks were full of cracks and funnel shaped from all the cracks. One that i looked at had probably 10 cracks and none of the cracks were visible when i originally formed them. I think i just learned the importance of annealing and fatigue while working brass. I guess its time to look into finishing making my annealer.
