jaybird2......I always check my cases under a lighted MAG lamp,before I reload.

Any in question, I smash them flat with a vise grip and throw them in the brass bucket.

It all depends on how manytimes......Don't forget,the BRASS stretches and gets THINNER!!

You reform the case, but most of the time you have to TRIM them because they stretched.

Always check for "THERMAL FATIQUE", HEAD and PRIMER POCKET distortion.

Don't take anything for GRANTED,when reloading!!

I personaly, don't go more than four or five times.Other people DO!

IF in dought,call or E-MAIL the companies for thier OPINIONS!
