I reload quite a bit, but far from an expert, I got 100 round of 220 swift brass that I've recycled 7 times. Its not a super hot load but it does move. The brass does look good. Ive trimmed them probaly three times. How many times can I reload them. Or should I just load them up and put them in a food saver bag for a rainy day when I might need them:D (got that idea from one of your posts which I just enjoyed by the way you crake me up). Oh ya shooting 55gr Vmax using imr 4064 3750fps if this matters.

Dale, that is a very good trick. The Nosler reloading manual mentions something like that also. Keep in mind that every piece of brass in that lot has been through the same stresses, so if a few are going the rest can't be far behind.Those who would trade freedom for security will end up with neither.
