Here’s a step-by-step of what I do.
First, brass after firing 20 times.
Step 2 ... neck wiped with RCBS Case Lube 2
Step 3 ... only when I want them shiny. Brasso
The “lot”.... this 308 brass has 20 reloads.
Looks like I annealed this lot at 11 reloads. I will probably not anneal again, shoot it another 10 times and trash it. After 30 reloads, it owes me nothing
