Re: .50 bmg brass life
I have some LC brass with 20 loadings on them. I anneal every 5th loading.
These are loaded with 215gr of 5010 and 647gr ball out of a AR50.
How many loads you get will depend on how hot your load is and the chamber of your rifle!
Without annealing I would say that 5-8 loads would be the max to push!

The brass to look for is IMI or TZZ its good but expensive, a couple weeks ago I saw a 1000 go for $2.50 a piece. Getting the brass to last has more to do with your guns chamber and setting up your reloading dies correctly than brand of brass.

Old Sarges drop Zone located in Fredonia, NY has Lake City 50bmg's for $.50/piece! I talked to him last weekend at a gunshow in Washington, PA and he had 8000 there boxed in 500rd boxes. Told me they had another bunch being cleaned up by some Amish and would be ready for sale first week in May.
Google Old Sarges Drop Zone and give him a call! All the brass I have got from him has been in great shape! If you find a damaged piece or a blank mixed in he will make it right!
