Neck turning does not correct the problems associated with brass hardening. When brass hardens, it will not have the same elasticity as it does when new or after annealing. The dimensions of the neck AND it's hardness affect neck tension. Also, if you don't anneal, the neck will eventually split due to its hardness. Even before it splits, you will get different tension, which will affect pressure and velocity.
You should probably plan to anneal after 3 reloads. Some shooters anneal after every firing. I think that is much more frequent than necessary, but it demonstrates my point.
