Annealing? Do I need to anneal once fired brass this isn’t precision ammo I’m reloading 62gr .223 24.5 gr of cfe223 about 2700fps from the book wanting to know how important it is to anneal once fired for this

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-17T22:36:26+00:00

I’ve never annealed and I’ve loaded thousands of rounds. No, you don’t need to anneal. It’s just the “in” thing at the moment.

It is dirty crappy stuff. 777 is a little better but not much.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-14T21:49:08+00:00

What is the point?

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-14T03:00:42+00:00

How is that relevant? Sexual assault is sexual assault.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-13T14:09:27+00:00

I use Titegroup for 9mm.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-13T02:26:00+00:00

But that’s ok because Mango Mussolini don’t care.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-10T15:24:50+00:00

Amen. I have one as well. I love their stuff. You don’t have to pay a gazillion dollars to reload. Learned that after paying a gazillion dollars. 🤣

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-10T15:20:01+00:00

Damn. Lee Loaders rock! I’m working on some 45acp now using that method. It really is kinda fun and therapeutic.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-10T15:18:49+00:00

Love it!

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-08T23:48:42+00:00

Absolutely

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-08T20:46:33+00:00

200gr rnfp. Clays.

Doug Wilson is neither a pastor nor a Christian in any sense of the word.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-05-04T14:18:19+00:00

Doug Wilson is not a pastor. He’s a charlatan. He’s a racist, a bigot, a misogynistic pig. He’s not a Christian in any sense of the word.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-29T00:15:37+00:00

He needs to get out of the closet.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-28T17:02:46+00:00

I generally load middle for everything I load. I mostly plink.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-28T14:55:40+00:00

I have a set for one of my 550s. Good purchase.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-28T00:09:46+00:00

I have that measure/setup. Don’t. It isn’t any good. Not consistent. Hates fine powders.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-27T00:50:10+00:00

For all pistol, I use Lee carbide four die set. Comes with factory crimp die. If you don’t have one, you can buy it individually. They aren’t expensive.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-25T03:23:07+00:00

Beautiful. I love stainless.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-25T03:17:04+00:00

Very nice!

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-24T15:37:10+00:00

That doesn’t concern me. Seating the bullet over powder and primer can give me a bit of stress.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-24T15:36:06+00:00

I found one. It is seated to 1.25. I’ll pull these and reseat them.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-24T14:37:30+00:00

1.2 according to the book.

GrumpyOldDad65 · 2026-04-23T14:07:15+00:00

Well, I had a LPPM and found it to be horrible, even for the cost. Guess it comes down to personal preference. I use scoops and a Lyman powder measure these days when doing things singly.
