When do you stop reloading brass?

I had 7mm RM by Nosler brass split 3necks out of 20 on a mild load used specifically to gently expand cases , as the virgin brass was quite short on headspace. I annealed the next batch of virgin before use , and all 30 remaining gave me no problems. I’ve got Norma 7mm brass going on 10 reloads ( using Larry Willis collet die). Also, the Norma brass sizes up very consistently. Your friend needs a friend with belted mag reloading experience. Best of luck

How loose is too loose with primers? Seating by hand tool. Some pieces of brass new i was afraid of having a primer go off with how hard they went in. Then some other new brass they go in pretty easy.
After couple firings i have some that go in pretty easy but by no means could i insert one by use of a finger. Always wondered how loose is considered scrap. Some I marked loose still shot good

When I get suspect I use a primer pocket tool.
