[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 654284, member: 48420"] OK, I am back. One person was interested, and for a teacher, one is good enough. Following is John Lazzeroni's method of making cases last. Remember two things, this is a direct quote from an e-mail he sent to me, and remember I am just the messenger here. (Although, the urge to toss in my own comments will be too overwhelming to ignore.) "1. Set the re-size die up so that it resizes the case JUST enough to get the case back in the chamber, but no more. 2. Trim and chamfer the necks slightly after each reloading. 3. LEAVE the primer pockets alone!! and just polish the cases with RCBS chemical liquid tumblers, rinse and dry in your home oven, on a foil sheet at 115-130 degrees for 3-4 hours prior to loading again. 4. Anneal just the necks with a low power hand torch after about every 4 firings. Start out with 500 cases and around 400 of them will still be useable after 20 firings with these methods." This all sounds pretty sensible, but 20? I wholly agree with buying one of the new chemical cleaners, which I have done. They not only polish the outside, but the inside of the case (I do not know how important that is. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.)But they also clean the primer pockets sparkling new, which eliminates reaming primer pockets, and I know that prolongs case life. Thanks for listening. I am going to go away now and leave you all alone. I can hear the sighs of relief! [/QUOTE]
