That's interesting,I'm not a particular fan of that system either,peens the case mouth and inside neck surface too much IMO.
Annealing may not make you a better hunter but it may help make your ammo a little more consistent as far as neck tension is concerned,which is one of the keys to accuracy.If you shoot 20- 50 rounds a year and use range pick up brass,then no it's probably not of much benefit.
Also extends brass life by keeping the necks from work hardening over repeated usage of the cases.
I've been using the same 30 Lapua 6BR. cases that have 14 firings on them,soon to be 15 firings.I expect to use them for the season with out issue.
So ,for me annealing is worth the time.
