LC 87 head stamped 308 brass

This weekend I picked up 250 cases from a friend of mine that had this brass in a sealed ammo box.
It old and dusty, he got this from the US government back in the eighties as loaded rounds for him to use in matches. He was a Scout Sniper back then.
He pulled the loads down years back and left the primers still in the cases. I pulled all the primers and washing the cases now for a little clean up in my wet tumbler, just distilled water and little soap.

Question I have, do I anneal all the case now and bag them up and use them as needed, or just anneal what I want to use now and anneal as I need.
Not sure if I anneal all now and don’t touch them for a while will this be a problem.
 
Your newly acquired LC '87 brass-
Does/Did it have crimped primer pockets?
Does the case have the knurled band fwd of the web to specify match brass?
Case head stamp marking are?
LC,Year,Match?

Scout Sniper-Lots of Mall Ninja's abound !

Do you plan on running this brass through a piston(M1A),impingement(M110)or bolt action rifle.

Just size the neck/prime/load & shoot.

LC 87 is good brass. It would have had crimped primers and you will need to remove the crimp unless the head stamp says LC 87 Match which did not have the crimp. Either way it is good brass so just use it like you would any other good brass.
