[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 1860690, member: 10582"] I start every April with 300 new 6mm Creedmoor cases, Which will all be used in at least 2 barrels. I shoot about 150 round of new brass per Match week. I shoot the entire lot Of 300 then case prep. For practice, hunting and my kids matches I use last years brass that I mark in the extractor groove with a red sharpie while it is spinning on the rcbs case prep deal. I shoot all of that years new and practice brass in complete lots but keep the lots of new brass vs practice brass separate lots. Then I prep and stage all 300 new cases and 200ish practice brass. i anneal and check trim length on all cases every 3firings And check case wall thickness on practice brass every firing. Talk about a ton to keep track of and no doubt get a small amount of error. I loose or damage 35% of new brass per year and 50%ish per year on the practice brass with hunting and case wall thinning. This year I went to large primer new brass and if it goes well, I will switch back and forth every year when I buy new brass, and toss or only hunt with 2 year old brass. I would love to learn a more efficient way. [/QUOTE]
