Jay, I had minor issues with neck splits on R-P cases until I annealed after initial forming and before fire forming. I just fire formed W-W cases using the same procedure and lost none. I have a new Savage pre-fit barrel coming from Pac-Nor chambered in .17AH and will do the same when forming RWS stuff I have reserved for it.
IMHO, anneal before fire forming and after every firing. I don't know the count but I have many reloads on my R-P stuff after 42K PSI(QuickLoad predictions) reloads after adopting this regime.
