I don't overly load my cartridges, and shoot mostly rounds that I have worked up for hunting. I can load them about 10 times before I start noticing any real wear on them. I inspect them carefully before I re-load them each time, and I could probably load them several more times if I wanted to, but I buy them new for $17.00 per 50 which after loading them 10 times apeice breaks down to about 3.4 cents per round, so I chunk them and buy new brass just to be safe.
