I have been reloading reduced 45-70 loads for my 1873 Trapdoor Springfield rifle. I am using 35 grains of H4895 and lead bullets of 405 grains. These give about 1250 FPS and seem quite safe in this antique rifle. Since 45-70 brass is fairly expensive, I am wondering how many times I can expect to reload the brass. Also, how will I know when I should not reload a certain batch of brass again? Note, if it makes a difference, I am using one of the Lee Loader kits.
