Can somebody explain to me why one would want to anneal their brass?
The reason for the question is that I get a substantial amount of "blow back" on 45 Colt rounds. I realize that the standard fix for this is to simply not size the brass so that it fire forms to the chambers. The problem that I have with that is that using a .452 boolit often leads to the boolit just falling into the brass before I get a chance to crimp it. Therefore I wind up having to size the brass and then we're back to the original issue of the blow back.
I'm just wondering, if I anneal the brass will it allow it to expand a little more readily and possibly seal off the blow back in a low pressure load like 45 Colt?
