Default RE: When is rifle brass used up?

I have to disagree with a few on here. I FL resize everytime. And I absolutely believe in trashing after a set number of reloads. It varies from rifle to rifle depending on pressures. On a 250 I throw them in the recycle bin after 10 reloads. If they've made it that long without being scrapped due to other signs I figure I've pushed my luck far enough. Generally I have to trim after 2-3 reloads. Necks usually start looking fishy around the 6th reload, and primer pockets get too easy to seat primers in. Its a feel thing...if the primer seats too easy I trash em.
