How many times can brass be used and
#2
I've got Starline 6.5Gr cases going on #6 reloading process. Poke out the old primers and toss them in the tumbler for 1-1/2 to 2 hours then anneal every time and have at it.

No splits, cracks or excessively loose primer pockets, but I'm using Fed 205's which are soft compared to others.

The only indications so far is the bases have grown as evidenced by "The Ring" forming near the base, and the case OAL has started shrinking a few thou.
Haven't measured the bases yet, or maybe I did and don't remember, but have not experienced any feeding or extraction problems.

I need to load up a batch today so I'll have to check that and see where it's at.
