[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3063868, member: 101791"] I would have to say, you using low powder loads or well withing specks in powder loads. Now I get 10 to 12 firing with belted mag. I would loose them in 3 firing by fully resizing the case with case base separation. I changed to neck sizing and stop my sizing die just shoulder to the neck. Sometime I would have to full length size them during that time, but not much. The only reason they didn't last longer was the primer pocket would get to loose. Those loads were something like 5+grs over manual max manual spec. Back then I would only anneal one time. So the neck splitting stopped. I sure you know that the brass gets harder each time it gets worked. That's is without question. So your neck tension would increase, because the brass gets harder each time. [/QUOTE]
