What is the maximum amount of reloads that you have gotten with this brass? Annealed/Not Annealed?

How are your primer pockets holding up?
as compared to new I would say I need about 1/2 the force. I am sure they have a few more reloads in them, but I retired them at 20x. When I first got them, I was wishing to get around 10x out of them.
Over the winter I will take the box of 20 that I have and just see how many more reloads can I get out of them before the neck cracks or primers start being loose to make them unsafe. I have Frontier brass that at 13x they started being unsafe, in a way that I can put the primer in by hand and also with just a paper clip from the neck I can push them right back out again.

I'm on 5 with no issues annealed every firing but I also don't get stupid with the pressure
I get around 18 before the “web” area above the belt becomes an issue (neck sizing only). I have a Larry Willis die that takes care of that, just a PITA.
Not mild loadings either. Annealed every firing. It’s good brass in my opinion. No RWS, but good luck finding that headstamp any longer.
