Most reloads in which "Brand X" Magnum Brass

[UNCIVILIZED]

I'm looking to get info on out of what make, who's getting the most reloads out of "Brand X" in long action & Magnum cartridges both with & without high end "metallurgical trickery". Meaninging both with & without annealing one's brass & such. Please specify what caliber you're shooting, & what kind of brass life you're getting out of the various makes of cases you're using, and in what caliber. And also if you'd also be kind enough to specify whether or not you're using a "special", collet resizing die as well, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks.

May not be what you are looking for but in my 300 WSM I got 12 loadings out of my first 100 pieces. This was with Norma brass. I annealed them once after 5 firings. Primers were still good to go but head was on the verge of separating. No collet dies, just Redding neck sizing die and running through their body die about every 3rd firing.

I get about 10 reloads out of Norma 300wm brass before the primer pockets are junk.Match chamber running a stout load of H1000.

I like Remington brass for 7RM. I think its a little tougher and tends to last longer than softer brass brands out there. I get about 12-15 reloads without annealing, when the wall thickness above the belt gets too thin I retire them. Only a few issues with loose primer pockets but I don't compress loads or anything either.

Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully this'll help keep the wallet fat, & the groups skinny ;-)
