[QUOTE="Austin, post: 30687, member: 1956"] I have had 8 or 9 "safe" reloads on the Lap brass. I have a rail gun I use to test my brass life, and I pushed a Norma Lap case with this bullet in my big 300 to 19 loadings before case / head sep, so about half that would be "safe". Web starts to thin around this area by about .005 - .007, so I would be careful. These were all loads within spec of the manual so that's no too bad. As stated above, the Norma brass is pretty hard, so anneal, anneal, anneal and you'll get better life. As for Win - Western brass, i've been getting about 7 or 8 loadings. Have pushed to 15 with the rail gun before rupture in the past, so I would consider about half that safe. Good luck bro. TH [ 01-18-2004: Message edited by: Austin ] [/QUOTE]
