You have to anneal to get any more life out of your brass. I have 8 firings on my Hornady brass. I anneal and full length size with a Mighty Armory die. I've lost probably 15% to primer pockets getting loose and those were probably from testing some hotter loads. Keep the charge weights down a little, anneal and full length size and you'll probably get 10 firings on your brass, maybe more.
BTW I use a propane torch and drill to anneal, even my 6x47 L brass and get .25" groups, usually less. .3 MOA at 300 yards. The AMP annealer is nice and would probably shrink my groups out past 600 yards, but it's definitely not a must.
