This ought to be funny...
What was your record number of refills on 1 lot of brass and what caliber was it?
I have a couple of lots of brass that I am almost embarrassed to admit how many times I loaded them up. It's not that I am cheap, I think I'm just a Brass Junkie.
According to my records, Lot #3 of my 38 spcl brass has been loaded 17 times but I think that it is actually closer to 25 because there was a time when I said "F*ck it" and just refilled. This is Remington Brass. I inspected this brass this weekend and it still looks good and I still have not had to trim yet.
As for rifle brass, I used to automatically pitch them at 10 refills if they made it that far but not no more.
My record high for bottle neck is 14 (hoping to get at least 20) with 30-30 Win. These have been fired single shot style and have been carefully ejected from the firearm and have only been loaded with light Trail Boss 7.8gr charges. Still looking good.
My record low was Remington 300 WBY MAG Brass. Only 5 refills. The Darn Belted Mag brass had trouble chambering even after FL sizing :banghead: But I really loaded these hot Now I use a secret weapon that has easily doubled and damn near tripled my brass use.
Cheers all around...
