Wrinkled necks when formed from 6Gren ??

[Badgersmith]

I ran a few Hornady 6.5 grendel cases through the 6ARC dies and trimmed.Wrinkles or creases formed where the new neck was formed.I figured they'd smooth out when fired first time. On firing the creases improved some but most cases cracked or showed they were close to failing along the creases.Hoping someone can tell us where we made a mistake. Just received a new annealer and will now anneal all cases before re-sizing but... don't want to wreck anymore valuable brass.Been reloading literally 50 years now but have limited experience with reforming cases. Have a shoot tomorrow and don't want to use the few factory rounds I have.  Thanks very much,Supervel

Fired once , Stuck w hornady brass for now. Started annealling , [Mikes Reloading Bench MRB machine[ learning it. I get the the 750 degree heat chem to go clear but I am
Not seeing the coloration changes in the brass I see in pics of aneaaled cases. Is that normal?

....the annealing marks may or may not appear as it depends on the brass condition at the time of annealing, i.e., clean, dirty, how many times fired, etc.  

..although its a different product, it works on the same principle, check out this video.  >>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElIgBY3EGFg

...it isn't really necessary to do this in a totally dark room to see the "glow", but you will definitely see it if you do.

Interesting annealing system. Certainly costs a lot less than the AMP & does a consistent job. I bookmarked the link for further reference.

....I have one and I'm thoroughly satisfied with it.  I do my 300BLK, 556, 308 and now 6ARC on it with excellent results. I know some folks would prefer it had a chute feeder, but I didn't feel it was too slow to hand feed it, especially since it took less than 10 seconds max to cycle thru any of the cases.  I was able to go thru a full coffee cannister of cases in no time and the ease of adjusting the depth for case length only takes seconds.  200 cases done in less than a half hour.

What surprised me the most was just how compact it is, great for folks without a bench or alot of room to work on, heck, it can even be done sitting at the dining table.  Maybe one day when I'm bored I'll devise some kind of chute feeder, but not really necessary IMHO.  Here's a sample of my converted 6.5G brass that was annealed before resizing. These were straight from the bag to annealing, those dark spots on the shoulder of left case is probably from the lubricant Starline puts on their cases before packaging. The cases shown are my test cases for setting up the seating die for the Nosler 70gn VG and 105 RDF.
