ajrigedell,
Our standard is approximately ten (10) reloads, assuming the brass is fired exclusively in one chamber, using normal reloading techniques and staying within safe (SAAMI or CIP) pressure limits. Many will go considerably more than this, and it's possible that some won't make it quite this far, but that's what we normally expect to see from our brass.
There's a host of things that impact brass life, and the guys have already touched on several here already. As they've already mentioned, you need to know a few dimensions to put everything together here; neck O.D. after firing, chamber neck I.D. (do a chamber cast), the neck I.D. of the dies you're using, expander ball O.D., etc.. You get the idea, but what youy're looking for here is anything that's being worked any more than is necessary. Personally, I favor bushing dies for exactly this reason. YOU have absolute control over how much the necks are bing worked, something that isn't true with conventional dies, which generally tend to greatly overwork the brass.
Take a look at some of these issues, and if the problem continues, drop me a line and we'll get it figured out.
