Would like to hear from more experienced reloaders.
For example:
I keep my 223 brass that's been fired multiple times separately, and I keep reloading those same cases until the wheels fall off the bus, which gives me a good idea how much life to expect from mixed head-stamp brass at my current loads which are close to max.
I do this in batches, but I was wondering if I should continue firing all my brass to spread the love around, and have lots more 2x fired brass, than a bucket of 5-6x fired brass.
I guess I like knowing I have a bunch of once fired brass lying around somewhere, for more urgent matters like a training class or home defense.
Ideas?
