Default Reloading anmounts

Just curious, how many reloads should I expect from 300wm brass that is running about 90% of max loads?

It really depends on the brand and are you full length resizing or just neck sizing?

That depends on how much you work the cases, whether you anneal the necks, and the quality of the cases.

Set your dies to the rifles headspace, anneal every third loading.

You'll probably get over 6 loadings per case most likely some could go upwards of 10 loadings.

I'm over 12 loadings on some 25'06 brass that I've never annealed, but only neck size. I was 8-10 on some 270WSM brass when I had that rifle. I've forgot how many loads I have on some .308 brass for my Palma rifle.(15+)

It's albout how you set your dies up, then how you work harden your brass.

I have gone 12+ with Norma Brass, neck sizing only. 75 grains of H1000 and a 210 VLD, min spec chamber and necks annealed every 4-5 firings.

I wouldn't go over 3 if you are full length sizing in a factory oversized chamber...

Thanks guys. I'm full sizing at the moment as these have the potential to be used in more than 1 rifle. They are a mix of head stamps, mostly FC and win. I was thinking it was going to be in 3-4 max for what I'm loading
