.223 / 5.56 brass annealed?

[BlackSheepBrass]

Just a bit of an informal poll.

I have been selling my processed and ready to load .223 / 5.56 on here for a while now. So now that I am a bit more established I thought I would begin asking more questions to see what the world at large desired.

I have looked at a majority of the annealers on the market today and have seen a few that seem like they would work with my setup. However, the question is: do the people who are shooting my brass really care if the cases are annealed? Or are they shooting it and leaving it?

From the cost side, it would be $5 - $10 per 1,000 as I have to cover time, material and equipment as with all things

I think it would be more beneficial to the 300BLK crowd that I cater to than the .223 crowd.

I don't anneal my Lapua .223 brass. For what it's worth.

I bought 1000 un cleaned unsorted (mixed brands) 223/556 brass from one supplier

2 or 3 out of every 50 had a split neck from one manufactuer -- I anealed all of the remaining of that brand

Ps the supplier made it right on the next order i made

the 300 blk has such a small shoulder I don't think annealing is worth it
223 though is definitely worth annealing... once every 4-5 firings

If you offered an annealing service, I could see people taking you up on that.
I don't think true "once fired" mil brass that's only been fired one time needs it done.

My thoughts as well. Only anneal after several firings.

I was more looking at as that way when the brass leaves my possession it is one more known variable. Everything I sell is off of LE ranges anyways so I might see a split neck one in every 5,000 or so as they don't shoot reloads.

With the 300 BLK the reason why it would benefit from annealing is that the shoulder and neck is made from the body of the parent case. That part of the case is not annealed to the same specification as the neck and case mouth. In addition you are working it fairly hard when you push it back ( I bump mine back in three increments )
