I have yet to see the need as they all look OK but I do buy good quality brass such as lapua competition. What I am looking for initially is an obviously bad case made during production so all I am looking to end up with initially is 'safe' and consistent brass to fire form. eg from the last 400 lapua 308w cases I found one that was stuffed all the rest were fine and weighed within a few points of a grain. I think for hunting anything more is probably a waste of money and time.

There certainly seems to be a lot of myth, utter crap, marketing hype and secret-ism behind loading for extreme/best accuracy. This then has to become something of an odyessy of self-discovery for me as I dont feel I can rely on much info out there on the Internet. So the above is how I do it now, in time I intend to try different myths for myself to see if they make a difference or not. Bear in mind all these tools add cost to your kit and frankly there are many vendors happy to sell you their latest gizmo that achieves little or nothing. I am sure there are some about such as maybe @ebf is I think somewhat more advanced down the rabbit hole than me on the worthwhile tricks and techniques. One of the reasons I am making an annealer is neck tension seems to be very important so I am investigating this first. I'll let you know as I go along.
