I've reused the red plastics many times but you can tell they don't fit as tight as a new one, as a result you get more blowback. For hunting I make sure i use new ones.

same for me as revpilot. I reuse them on the range, but use new ones for hunting. It does not seem to effect my groups or point of impact.

When hunting - i always use new jackets at the range I re-use them several times before pitching them.

I know a lot of peole do not like the jackets, myself I really do prefer them. In the weather I hunt in there are important as they seal the breech so that moisture can not reach the powder, + they extract quickly and easily roll out of the bolt.

I did try the NFPJ for awhile but there are times that the primer would get stuck in the in the BP and it was difficult to get out.
