On these forums, there is a tendency to try to figure out things by logic, rather than testing to see what works best. Believe me, the top shooters have tried just about everything. I have done a lot of experiments myself, with my 6PPC. There is no substitute for doing your own testing. Trying to come to some sort of final conclusion that is valid on the target, without testing, is largely a waste of time.

Interesting observation which is very similar to a companion book (Extreme Rifle Accuracy) written by Mike Ratigan, another renown expert and Olympic Winner shooter. Mike also makes no reference in his book to "annealing", but covers very much the same detailed materials Tony Boyer cover in his book. So perhaps our own Boyd Allen answers the initial question posed, neither of these recognized expert shots even anneals and rather tosses their brass after a competition and starts anew each time. Sponsorship sure must be nice.

Benchrest isn’t an Olympic sport. The World Championships take place every other year in different countries, it’s basically the Olympics of the short range Benchrest world, so I get what you’re saying there. Mike won the 2gun at the World Championships in 1999 and has placed well in other World Championships too.
[br]Shynloco said:Ok..my bad! I shouldn't have used the term "Olympic" because Tony and Mike have competed against the world's best Benchrest shooters at the "World Benchrest Championships." I personally also give them credit (they are others are my heros) for their excellence and superior capabilities whatever term you wish to call it. But I also believe any of those competitors would probably outshoot those at the "Olympic" level if they entertained such an event.
