I'm sure this has been asked about a billion times, but I did not find the threads when I did a search.
I realize that there are many variables such as load pressure, chamber variations, etc, that will make it impossible to predict the the number of lives that brass cases will have, so I'm just looking for some experience-based estimates. My goal here is to start discarding my brass before any problems begin to develop.
What is the typical number of times you personally reuse brass before you begin to find signs of wearout in a particular lot of handgun or rifle brass?
9mm, .45ACP, .357, .44, 500S&W, .223, .308, etc...
