How many times can I reload my 300 Winchester magnum brass? I have not kept records, but most of it has been loaded 4 or 5 times now.

I get about 5 from my 300wm I take a wire with a sharp bend in it run it down into the case and feel for a ring just about the belt.

If the case is thining there you well feel a ring starting as the brass thins. When I start feeling a ring the cases go into the scrap bucket.

If you're resizing your brass correctly, you'll start getting neck splits before anything else. When I get about 10% failure in the batch, I pitch it and start with another batch.


Aim for the exit hole

With any belted case, it's about setting your dies up properly. If you F.L. resize, most are going to get you 5x. Set them up to partial F.L. size & sset proper headspace, yo ucan get 8-10.
