I've never bought a 9mm case. Somewhere around 80,000 - 90 thousand loads. 60K were in one pistol I still use as a back-up gun. I reuse the cases until the primer hole 'feels' loose or the case starts to split at the case mouth.
Win, WCC Nato, R&P, PPU and some F.C. & Speer (both ATK and load similarly) are the cases I use. Win is my preferred brass followed by R&P. The FC and Speer are noticeably 'softer' when seating bullets and primers. Other ATK brass I don't use is waay softer yet.
Pick up all the range brass you can every time you can. After you have 10-20 thousand cases, you won't wear out the brass for a very long time if you go through ALL the cases sequentially. Or not. JMO
