New Lapua 308 brass costs $100 per Hundred, Rem or Win about 70-80. Annealing at 25/100 plus 2 way shipping at even 10 bucks each way means it is easier and not a lot more expensive to just buy new brass, unless you are talking 338 Lapua, 378 Bee type brass. I have been loading for over 50 years, and have never annealed brass, except for case forming with a big neck down.
I predominantly neck size everything. When it gets hard enough to start cracking the necks I toss it out but I have lots of cases that went 20 firings before that became a problem. Two hundred brass even at just 10 firings per, will pretty much wear out many of the hotter cartridges' barrels and I always start with new brass for every new barrel.
If a guy could get it done without having to ship two ways it might be pretty popular.
