At least three (and probably more). I use mine for parctice, having already worked up loads with Federal and NORMA brass. I'd expect upwards of six reloads but haven't done that yet.

If you load to nominal pressures I would expect at least 5 times. I've got a set of 10 cases that have that many reloads and apart from a little trimming of the case mouth they look fine so far.

There is no reason that you should not get 10 to 12 loading out of any brass, you will normally have to trim every 4th loading..I wouldn't toss the brass until I started getting a number of split necks, then its time to go..I never anneal, I just buy new stuff...

Always hunt with new brass.
