That said, I am a metallurgist and I would recommend annealing post sizing as that will remove any work hardening and internal stress that is imparted on the brass by the sizing operation.
Couldn't have said it better, I am a F class shooter and even that doesn't require annealing after ever reload.
Most F class shooter fire form and neck size the case which only minimally stretches the case.
I'm never happy with my loads unless all bullets holes are touching at 100 meters. At that point you can work on out with at least a good degree of confidence.
