robmont Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Please excuse me if I am using the forum incorrectly, but how many times can brass be reloaded, and how do you tell how many times picked up brass from the range has been fired? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerglocker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Pistol brass generally you can load it till it splits if loading within normal PFs. I get 7-9 loads out of 9mm brass, probably more but tend to lose them before I get any further. Edited January 18, 2013 by Boxerglocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 1st question... a lot. 2nd question, if the primers go in extremely easy, as in no resistence, I put them in the only use for for practice pile. I only shoot those 1 or 2 more times. The seem to split about that time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 you will loose them before you wear them out,,at least I do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 How many times? You tell us! Many times....I don't think there is a set point for any brass, as all is different....Load till the primers get loose or they split (I've got 38 super brass that I know I've loaded at least 12-15 times and it's still fine). How can you tell how many times it's been fired? Easy answer.....you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsauerfan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 9mm brass can be reloaded as many times as you need to. from the 5th time reloaded,i check for dents or airline cracks and out of specs flash holes. i load my 40 for major in a G35 , then i'm more cautious with the brass ; but only because of the lack of support in glock's 40 barrels .i can get like 5-6 reloads out of my 40S&W brass ; then , when the brass are stretched after 5-6 resizing,i don't take any chances, i ditch them . anyways most of my brass comes from the range, so i don't mind.

Sarge Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm loading 9MAJOR and I just keep loading and loading. There is no real way to tell how many times brass has been reloaded just by looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
