case stretching and annealing
All brass is annealed from the factory. However with 300-221 brass made from 223 REM cases, trimming/cutting the case back to 1.35 inches removes the annealed part of the 223 REM case.
I shoot an AR so with case loss due to ejected not finding all the the spent cases I figure I reload some cases at most 3-4 times.
With a bolt gun you should not lose many cases in the grass etc... so you should anneal them after about 2-3 reloads.

P.S. You can get a nice annealing kit from Hornaday
