Does anyone do annealing? I've read a bit about it and is it worth it? What equipment and where did you get it from? Cost? Benefits? Did you notice a difference?
Thanks

Is it worth it for standard pistol rounds? 9, 40, 45, 38spl, 380, etc?
I do the same method ,works great and worth the time.I use a battery drill with a spark plugs socket on it to hold the case. A piece of copper wire as a twist tie to keep the drill turning slowly. Put a torch to the neck for 6-7 seconds and drop it in a bucket of water. I don't know that it really increases accuracy, but I have noticed a discernable difference in seating bullets in annealed vs non annealed brass and I've got some starline .308 brass that's have 10-12 reloads on them and no split necks.
I'm too cheap to buy a machine to do it, though I've seriously considered making one that will work on my old shop smith that I use as a lathe and drill press
