With regard to .30 Luger cases:
What is the average number of times a case can be reloaded?
From what I know its not a really high pressure cartridge. So I would imagine each case could be reloaded about 3-4 times.

I know that there are several factors that case life depends on,
like, case condition/quality, pressure of loading and type of powder etc.

What I am really looking for is a ball park figure.

Thanks,
Anand
