I annealed a batch of 20 pieces of brass for my bolt gun after 3 reloads. You can definitely tell a difference when resizing the cases. I found that it is necessary to anneal my 6.5x55 brass after 3 loads because the chamber is oversized and my dies were working the brass too much. I've since switched to collet dies, but have not shot that particular rifle enough to worry with annealing in quite some time. I used the cheap Hornady kit with the Tempilaq paint and heat sinks that you chuck into a drill. It seems to work well enough, but it's a PITA if you've got a lot of brass to do.
