[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 381668, member: 2112"] Wow that is one fancy machine! Most of my brass has been shot 3 times. some maybe four. I tried to keep track of how many times each has been shot but they got mixed up while in the field and stuff. I am pretty certain though 90% of them will be on their forth loading this time round. I load mine at max or slightly over (Shooting canular ringed bullets, thus less pressure). After I size these rounds I am going to inspect each one very closely for cracks. I am also going to try and feel each one as I size them for difficulty due to hardening to see if I need to anneal them. Thing is, I am going to have to develop new loads this year due to my bullet I am currently using no longer being made. This is going to take some shooting as I might end up trying 2-3 different bullets and by the time I am done, My brass might be on their 5th or 6th loading so I wonder if it would be better to just start completely fresh???
