[QUOTE="-WARDOG-, post: 2304714, member: 119077"] Just because you have 100 pieces of brass doesn't mean you will end up with 100 loaded cartridges. Some brass will have defects direct from the manufacturer (maybe 6-7%) Your reloader pal may make a few mistakes like trimming a case too short, trimming a neck wall too thin so you might lose a few there as well. While testing a load you may overpressure a case that you don't want to use again. Defects may show themselves after the first firing. I suggest 150 - 200 pieces of brass. Bullets (projectiles) have their issues as well with about a 5% loss. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
