[QUOTE="D in lv, post: 1655464, member: 109474"] Just sent in a couple fired 270 wsm brass and a bullet to Lee. About 5 week delivery on a new set of neck sizing collet dies. WSMs are hard on brass. I'm hoping for better brass life by reducing the resizing stress with Lee neck size dies. I currently go three firings of neck sized brass, then full length resize with forester dies. Two or three firings later, neck failure. A total of 5 firings. Primer pockets still ok but not super tight anymore. I'm thinking there may be 2-3 firings left in the primer pockets. If that works, I probably can avoid annealing, and 200 pieces of brass should get me through the life of the barrel and then some. Any experience with brass life and different dies? [/QUOTE]
