Has anyone here ever had to anneal .38 Special cases? I have a bunch of Winchester cases that have been fired and loaded 5 or 6 times, and they are very hard. When I run them through my dies, they feel more like .30 carbine than .38 Special. They drag and scrape, and I have to apply way more force on the handle than do any other of my pistol/revolver cases. I have other brands of .38 Special that have been loaded more, and still feel soft, and size/flare/crimp easily.
