More specifically when necking up some of my many times fired and somewhat overdone LC match cases to 35 whelen would the process of expanding the brass serve to anneal it as well?

IIRC that necking down hardens brass wouldn't it stand to reason that necking up softens it?

To the things that you are sayin' who do you thinks gonna hear
And if you should die explainin' how the thing they complain about
Or the things they could be changing who do you thinks gonna care

Nope, just the opposite. It will make the necks harder and more prone to problems.

Nope, only through heating can you anneal, every sizing op work hardens.
