[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 392246, member: 8"] Cases fail for three common reasons 1. Too much pressure resulting in enlarged primer flash holes. The symptoms are the primers fall out. 2. Too much stretching due to chamber and finished case size differences resulting in case head separation. If you have to trim frequently then you will loses cases sooner. Use a bent paperclip to check inside the case near the head for thinning. 3. Bad necks due to not annealing regularly. Either split necks or no neck tension. If you do not overload your cases and do not over size them and anneal the necks about every four or five shots then they will last quite a while. How many times is hard to answer for a number of reasons related to the three above plus every manufacturer uses a different alloy of brass and their cases have different properties. [/QUOTE]
