.300 Brass Life

[ZenArchery]

After how many loads are you pitching these things goodbye?! Yes, I know there are many variables but just enquiring.

I've yet to go through my first bag of 500 but just curious.

I don't shoot a .300WTF but I did stay at a Holiday Inn. From what I understand the brass should last a very long time. The main area of concern would be the neck. If they start to split you might make them last longer by annealing the rest.

If we are talking about 300 blackout my biggest problem has been from loose primer pockets on brass that I formed from 5.56/223 range find brass. I don't seem to be having this issue with my factory AAC brass.

At the rate I'm going I fully expect to lose individual pieces of brass before I ever see a case split.

I doubt that I've made it into double-digit reload territory.

My only 300BO is a Handi Rifle. I have expieranced loose primer pockets also. Probably 1:10 or so. (all my brass is LC)Although most of my reloads are somewhat hot,I feel that I should get my moneys worth outta my brass since it does not spit out on the ground. --- pruhdlr
