Annealing cases
Well with the WARA queens only a couple of weeks away. Im in the predicament that my 6.5mm cases only have 100 thou of bullet in the neck. Im a little worried that the small amount will have an effect on inconsistent neck tensions. I size with a lee collet die and all the cases have been turned. Is it worth annealing them to help consistency? Sadly its been indicated that although this barrel while working well, wont be rechambered in time so Im forced to make do which isnt impressing me at all...

G'day Brad,
0.100" Luxury! Back when I were lad, my 22-250 had about 0.050-0.060" and I slept in hole in road (if you're not with it I suggest a good dose of Monty Python!)
Trick is light bullet grip/neck tension and jam those pills! just make sure there are reasonably "straight" before chambering! This ensures they will align with bore.
FWIW, I've seen SR BR shooters start a weekend with new brass and chuck it at the end of the shoot, 200 firings, 20 cases @ around $120-$160/100cases.
Me, I've still got my original cases and get 2500-3000 firings out of 20cases!
Food for thought

PS if you are not familiar with Monty Python, I do recommend it for maintaining a certain amount of equilibrium, nudge nudge wink wink, if you know what I mean!
