My experience has been that RWS and Lapua brass lasts long enough it’s practically an investment, as opposed to a “consumable item”.
Many years ago, I was given a box of new Lapua 30-06 brass. I checked them all out on my Audette gauge (was shooting benchrest then) and out of 100 cases, I had one cull.
I used them for high intensity 190 gr. loads for 1000 yd shooting for several years, and they are now used for hunting loads. I haven’t lost one yet.
RWS brass in my 6.5x55 has similar longevity. I’m at 6 reloads on my 9.3x74r, which usually only goes 2-3 with Norma brass.
