Only four to five firings? Loading them kind of hot are you? He, he, he.
Shoot and move drills eh? I shoot, chuck my gear into my truck and drive it to the next firing line. Comes from being a Mechanized Warrior. Why run when you can walk? Why walk when you can ride? Why shoot something with a 5.56 when you can blast it with an M-2 while sitting?
I donate my worn out brass to some former hippies -- now capitalists -- who are running a reclamation center. They look at the brass and see money and not evil.
As for annealing brass. Yes -- I have done this when forming some .577-500 cases from some .577 basic brass for a double gun. Given that lesson learned, I now tend to not want any chambering that requires anything more than a simple one step sizing process without neck turning etc.
However, this discussion has brought out something new to me. Blowing primers on virgin brass. As if another chambering or cartridge won't kill an animal without blowing the primers? This is truly unique and I am most interested in the logic behind this one.
