It’s certainly the hardest/ toughest brass to FL resize with a manual press handle

So I stuffed it annealing then?

Yes

Most likely after annealing the cool down period was too quick

ADG brass is well annealed before purchase so I would be tempted to load it 4 times minimum before re annealing

As in dunking them in water..? That's what I do!

That’s not annealing, an instant cool is Tempering which will make the brass harder/brittle

Dunno if it is temepering/hardening but I never rapidly cool my brass.

Odd to do that after a couple firing so my guess is over annealing and a host of other possible issues.

Thank the stars that you're wrong. Almost had me pulling bullets there.
