Re: How may times do you load your brass?
I shoot mostly bolt gun...easy on brass. Since its mostly bolt gun, I take full advantage of neck sizing...extremely easy on brass. I don't load hot, I load for accuracy...easy on brass. I'm not into annealing...accuracy speaks for itself. My practice has been FL size, then NS 3 times, FL size, then NS 3 times. Primer pockets are a little loose after that, then I toss for recycle. Never had any splits. I have gotten over 10 loads before, but not often because I use inexpensive Win brass. Semi-auto....whole different story.
