I sort of keep track of such things. I load ten boxes, and just keep loading them. Last batch was loaded ten times then thrown in a bucket. I gave them to one more needy and started over. My current loadings are up to 12, and still work just fine and hit where they are supposed to. Yeah, I lose one now and then, but not many. I have so much, when a couple are lost I can pick out a couple from that headstamp and move along. :)

I have over 2,000 .38 Special cases that I have been reloading since spring '86. I gave up counting reloads some time in '87. I shoot two .38s and 1, 357, everything from mouse-fart wadcutters to near max. 160 gr. SWC. 8)

+1

I started reloading in the early 80s and used to toss the brass out after 10 reloads because that was how I was taught. A couple years later I quit keeping track and only toss out the bad brass.

As mikld, I reload for a wide range for applications.

BTW, I also quit tracking how many rounds I've shot through each gun after 1993.
