Just annealed my first (ever) full batch of brass, 50 pcs. I watched every piece to make sure the flame didn't change and that the brass didn't get so hot it glowed.
But whereas my pre-annealed brass would always seat within +/- .001", now that variation is more like +/- .003" now. I was wondering if this is normal (or a "normal" consequence of improperly annealed brass). Bullets are the last of my old a-max's, if that matters.
I can't imagine why even a bad annealing job would cause this issue, but it's the only thing I can think of that changed, so I thought I'd ask.
