How many times can you reload a case? Cases in question are Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor. I have shot some of these a dozen times. After 5 reloadings I candle anneal them then shoot for 5 more reloadings. I have yet to see a case split, loose primer pocket or to feel a headspace issue with the bent paper clip trick. I do trim them at each reloading (minimal, mostly squares them up). This is starting to seem like a lot of rounds for a case. My current plan is to run them up to 15 reloads then toss them. What are your thoughts.
