You will probably lose or damage them before they wear out

Think "end of time".
Straight walled cases don't grow like bottlenecked rounds do. The low pressure and the fact that they will be shot from a revolver (no extractor or getting tossed on the ground) will add to the longevity. |

Till the sides start cracking. Then they go in the recycle bin.

Depends on how hard you flair and crimp them and the quality of the brass itself.
Nickle plated is my favorite 38 brass but it doesn't last long before it starts to split. Back in the 70s I bought a bunch of unfired Norma 38 brass, some of them only lasted 2 loadings before they started to split, it was brittle stuff. |

I have a few hundred cases now, so I'll be in supply for a while, as I'll fire all of them again, before processing and repeating.

I've got some I've been shooting for ten years. They've been loaded dozens of times. They still look brand new when they come out of the wet tumbler.
Every once in a while a case will split. But, it's rare. |

I got a few thousand. I think they will still be in use a couple generations from now. |

PS: Brass cases will last much longer than nickel plated cases before they crack! |

When you pick the brass up and notice a odd tinging sound as you drop it in the bag you have a split case, toss that one.
