[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2030558, member: 61747"] Most can get 4 without having hardened necks. I think we have to keep it on par with the average guy who may or may not benefit. For me, I will run 15-20 reloads out of my brass. 2 issues, cracking and tension. I notice after 4-5 that the spring back on the brass is bad enough that tension is a problem. I also notice that after I anneal the brass will only go another 1-2 before the spring back seems to be a problem again. If you are shooting for 1.5-2 thou on tension then this is an issue. If you are at 4-5 thou and all the sudden at 2-3, it won't matter as much. It also doesn't matter if you crimp. So I guess I all sort of depends on what a person is doing and expecting. For me, I have been this long enough I see the difference in brass life and consistency. I see lower sd over wider range of shots. [/QUOTE]
