[QUOTE="Bug, post: 165441, member: 2185"] That would depend on the cartridge and its intended use. For pistol rounds bein shot a lot, as in IPSC, around 2000 seems to be enough. For standard rifle rounds, and hunting pistol rounds, I like to have at least 500. Varmint class rifles prolly need at least 1000. For the more esoteric cases that can cost as much as $2 apiece - or more, or that require a lot of laborous/time-intensive forming, I can get by on considerably less. 'Course these usually only get fed 100 or so a year. What I'd do is figure five firings per case (just an average, YMMV), and get at least enough to last you a year, based on your expected useage. By then you will have decided how many you are likely to really need. [/QUOTE]
