I am curious to the general practice of using brass among the reloaders here. I have been reloading now for about 6 months and have brass that has been used several times, as in about 7. I have people telling me that after 5 times brass should be tossed out regaurdless. I have had three pieces of brass split and they were all three brand new brass
at low pressure loads, which lead me to believe it was faulty brass. Zero brass show signs of head separation. I full size it everytime so the metal gets worked and I haven't annealed any of them. Do you guys toss them after a certain number of uses, or do you inspect them each use and use them as long as no pressure symptoms arise???
