I have some Winchester brass that I have been firing for a while,22-250) now and I'm not seeing any pressure signs. But, I was wondering,hypothetically) how many times could I fire this stuff? I ONLY neck size by the way. Thanks

Winchester is pretty good brass, by and large. If you don't over-pressure the cases and your chamber is a pretty good fit so the brass is not over-worked, you could easily get 10 reloadings on those cases. If you anneal after 7-8 loadings you might get 15 or more loadings on the cases. Whether the accuracy remains "match-grade" is another issue.
It's all a matter of pressure. I have Winchester 45acp cases that have been loaded 30+ types, but that is a low-pressure pistol cartridge.
