Over the years I can say I have thrown out very few cases and reloaded a ton of ammo. I also full length resize as I will shoot the same ammunition in as many as 5 different guns and all of them seem to shot well enough to hit what I’m aiming at...


This exactly, I have multiples of several calibers. I don’t have the time or want to for keeping brass separate for Four 7 mags or several 264, 233’s etc

I shoot my belted cases 3 times, then cshit can them. The non belted I shoot until I get a loose primer pocket.
