| How many times can you reload a .223 cartridge? |
|
As always, it depends... Some brands (like FC as I hear) only get like 1 and others are ok for 7+. It also depends on what loads your using, whether the brass is brand new, once fired, or range pickup. Also, sometimes brass will get damaged or split after a couple firings and then can't be used again, even though it hasn't hit it's avg. number of reloads. You have to pay attention to the signs when reloading the brass to figure out if it's fine to keep reloading it. LC headstamped brass seems to be the hotness right now and I see people saying they can use it on avg 5-7+ times. Your experience with it might vary.
You could try asking this in the reloading forum to get some more first hand answers on different brass... |
