About 10 years ago I did a test of some new Starline Brass in 9MM and 45ACP (10 rounds each). I knew what I picked up was mine as it had the magic marker line across the primer. The 9MM brass went 15-16 before the primer pockets would not hold a new primer. The 45 brass went 20 or so times before a split in the top of the case developed. 3 of the 45 brass would not hold a primer at the end of 18-20 reloadings as I could not tell which was which, but that number is good in my book any day.
