[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1312448, member: 17844"] I use the simple way also a card inside the lid of the ammo box with 1 2 3 4 etc crossed out after each reload . Now that's only half the story . You also have to inspect case well after every reload because some will last longer than others . Thinning of the web of the brass that leads eventually to case head separation happens at different speeds in any batch of cases. So Every time I reload a case I visually inspect inside the case for signs of a thinning groove starting . As soon as I identify that groove starting I dump that case . Of the cases that survive longer I have a max number of reloads that when reached I dump the whole lot or if the batch gets too small I dump them earlier . I don't ever mix in new cases with old . I use a Doctors Otoscope to inspect inside the cases . [url]https://www.walmart.com/c/ep/otoscope[/url] [/QUOTE]
