[QUOTE="bowstryder, post: 603729, member: 39272"] Well like I said the fellas getting that much life out of there Lapua brass aren't working them too hard, and they anneal religiously. I have heard of expecting 10 loadings before worrying about the integrity. So I base my price per load off of that generally. Again that doesn't include those loads that are maxed out and showing too much pressure. Now about improving the case and getting better life..... my (and only my opinion) logic tells me that stretching the brass out to a new dimension would actually decrease it's usable life. By how much....... well I don't know. I asked Kirby that as well and with a moderate load recipe I would imagine it would not affect it by more than 1 or 2 loadings. I digress. [/QUOTE]
