[QUOTE="Waltech Jim, post: 61993, member: 3214"] Leon, My original post was only an attempt at humor. I was not making fun of your question. Competition shooters often trim every time they reload. They know neck tension on the bullet has an affect on accuracy and necks that vary in length can cause accuracy problems. For these guys, discarding their brass after four trimmings would be foolish. I routinely discard brass (for one of my rifles) after 10 reloadings, because I have found out through experience with that rifle, problems with the brass may arise. In all the years I have reloaded, and for all the guns I have reloaded for, the number of times the case has been trimmed has never been the deciding factor in case life. Jim [/QUOTE]
