I've been conducting an "experiment" to see how many loads I can get out of my W-W 300 Win Mag brass. I have been shooting a mild load of Retumbo and 208 A-maxes and anneal after every third firing. I just finished my 10th firing on the brass. All of these rounds were difficult to extract and it looks like the region just in front of the web is expanding a considerable amount causing the hard extraction. I didn't have this issue on loads 1-9. I resized again, and re-primed them. All primer pockets are tight.
Am I correct in my thinking that the brass just in front of the web is getting thin causing excessive expansion in that area and the resulting extraction issues? Has the brass had it and should I nix the 11th attempt at reloading this stuff?
Thanks
