I anneal all of my brass every firing. Not sure its necessary but tue machine is sitting there so i may as well use it. Plus it helps dry my brass after i tumble it.  :chuckle:

I anneal every loading as well. Easier than keeping track of when I did it

I only crimp if its going into a semi-auto,  no reason for the rest of my firearms, single shot and bolts.   Don't have a tubular feed rifle but if I did, it would get a crimp.  I've had clip fed ones, no need to crimp them too.

I put a slight crimp on my 44mag wheel gun ammo.

Yes anneal every time just seems to tighten groups.    Trying to shoot 5” groups at 1000 yd so every bit helps.

I go the other direction - anneal every round, low neck tension to get low speed variations but then I’ve never tested with crimping. 

What kind of ES's, you getting?

Everything goes through a Lee Factory crimp die at my house.

Especially the higher power tubular magazine rifles.  But I just lee factory crimp everything.  Don't really need a cannelure with the Lee die.

I like the lee factory crimp dies.  I've never really noticed any accuracy difference between crimped or not, but it gives me the warm and fuzzies when it comes to hunting ammo knowing that nothing should move.  Some of the loads I use are pretty compressed.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun
