Way I look at it is like this.If the skill of the shooter and the quality of the rifle are not sufficient to see any benefit from it then making and shooting quality ammo is like putting lipstick on a pig. So some people might be right, they won't see any benefit from precision loading techniques

"...varying opinions on when to anneal..." It's not an opinion based thing. You only need to anneal when one case neck cracks. You pitch that case and anneal the rest.

I think that is an opinion of 1.

Competition shooters tend to anneal after each round.

I would go no more than 5.

As you want to stay a bit shy if you are not setup for perfect as AMP suggest they are, you are going to have more cases ready to fail.

I tend to 3 as I like how much easier the bullets seat.
