RWS is good brass, why not just anneal them?, get an annealing cup off The Shooting Shed, a cordless drill and some Tempilaq and you're all set to go. Save you a fortune if you're throwing away good brass after 3 firings?

I started using Lapua last year, and I'm now using the Lapua Palma 308 brass. Early signs are that it's giving more consistent MV's.
So rather than leave the RWS in the loft to turn green and manky, I thought I'd see if anyone wanted it.

Annealing after 3 firings?

Why not? no idea if they've been used with mild or hot loads, tight or loose chamber etc., certainly won't do it any harm :)

If HPS have reloaded fired brass other than their Once fired/machine reload, I think the base will have little dots on it indicating how many times reloaded - small indents to the base. But agree anneal it & use for warm up rounds, barrel conditioning, zeroing, guests * kids.
