Gregg K Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Another factor may be the reason for my long case life is that I size with a U die so the bullet is held tight and only crimp .001 to .0015 so I'm not working the case mouth much at all.

Not that much different than what I've seen with semi-auto brass it's just we don't lose many and it seems like it's a more frequent problem. Mine split but I've reloaded the same batch of Starline brass over and over again for several years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly with semi-auto brass that I've kept for just practice I see the same rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamj Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think my batch of starline short colts are on the fourth loading with no signs of potential failure points. Although, the last three batches have been crazy soft steel challenge loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
