How many reloads before annealing

[Bc'z]

Hey "
Salt bath, booze and a torch!
What's goin on here?

Let me explain this for you bro.
Draw a bath for your lady add bath salts
Pour her a glass of wine, light some candles!!
Where's your romance?

 

[Bc'z]

Well if your into that sort of thing.
But I'd sure as hell hate to get shot with the pistol I bought her and the ammo I loaded for it.

Wow, I think you guys are even more bored than me......

To get back to the OP: I shoot, anneal, reload and repeat. Bully just sent me some used Lapua 223 cases. 15-20 firings by his memory. Some split necks. I’m going to see how many times they can be shot. They just got annealed, resized and inspected. Loading tomorrow.

As for accuracy, I’ve run cases as many as 25-30 firings without any detectable loss of accuracy, and that was firing from strictly match-grade barrels in a return to battery machine rest fixture.

A friend used one unprepped 308 case in his match rifle clamped in a RTB machine rest the same as the Tubb and Tompkins families used checking their stuff. Full length sized in a neck-honed RCBS FL die bumping shoulder. 002" after twisting a nylon brush in the neck. 43 grains of IMR4064 metered into that 210M reprimed case then a Sierra 168 "standard" seated. (Several of Sierra's most accurate match bullets were called "standards" and used to qualify test barrels as they tested well under their 168 HPMK spec of 1/4th MOA average at 100.)

57 shots at 100 yards went into about 3/8" ES with that case that got trimmed back about .010" to 2.000" every dozen shots.
