Back when I didn't know you couldn't reload cases forever, I reloaded Norma 220 cases almost forever and was Partial Resizing. Shoot, trim, shoot, trim, and on and on. Who knows how many times I used those cases. Had to be 25 times or more. Then one day I decided to neck size. So I did the first case and went to seat the bullet and the bullet fell into the case. The neck didn't get thick. It got thin. Never had the first case head separation. Had a couple of neck splits. Never annealed. That's good brass.
