[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2608958, member: 27307"] The simple answer is that it will depend upon the quality of the brass used in the original manufacturing. Lesser quality brass matters since the number of reloads is fewer right from the start. I've had some lesser quality brass last 3 reloads and some Peterson last 10-12 reloads. Nosler makes the .280 AI brass but it's not the quality of Peterson, Alpha, Lapua, etc. Nosler brass has never lasted for the number of reloads that the others have. RCC brass is turned on a CNC lathe and has shown remarkable resiliency for multiple reloads in excess of the normal number usually associated with even the higher quality brass manufacturers. I just find it hard to get around paying $300/50 pieces of brass no matter how many times they figure I can reload it. Psychological when the numbers can work out in my favor even at the higher prices. I used Norma, Remington and Winchester for forming 25-06 AI and 6.5-06 AI brass cases. The Norma only lasted as long as the other two even those it was much more expensive. But I could find it as opposed to not finding any Remington or Winchester in the last couple of years. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
