22 Hornet to 17 Hornet
Yes, annealing is your last step prior to fire forming.
It also helps to have an intermediate 20 caliber die to take the case down in two steps to 17 caliber.

22LR Jacketed Bullets & Sal Ammoniac Cont.
That is very telling!
Yes, I know these thin, thin jackets can make for a fragile bullet, but I also want my hits to pop my targets!

22LR Jacketed Bullets & Sal Ammoniac Cont.
