Case life will depend on the type of brass, chamber, and load you are shooting. Good brass can last a long time. Low quality brass can fail on the first reload.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

The 450/400 BeLL and Hornady brass I am using is great. Hornady and RWS 9.3X74R good stuff. Norma 9.3X74R sucks! Only case seperation I've had! Just my opine!

I agree with Rusty, I have used Norma brass exclusively for my 416 Rigby and 9.3x74R and have been able to reload it 10-12 times without an issue but Norma brass is softer than Hornady, Lapua, or RWS and it can be more of an issue for certain calibers. Cases for both can be bought at Graf&Son's, Midway USA, Natchez's, Huntington's, Cabella's.

+1 Agree.

I can get 10 - 12 reloads out of my Good quality brass without a problem,
especially if you can neck size only.
