    Be cautious if you anneal and then run them into a Lee collett die, you can get collapsed necks as the soft brass you have created sticks to the mandrel and turns the case neck inside out. Ask me how I know.
    Lee collett is quick but not my now preffered method.

    I wouldnt call Norma brass hard? your results may vary from mine.
