  • How many uses out of your AA/Lapua 6.5G brass?

    How many uses are you getting out of your AA/Lapua 6.5G brass? Just wondering if I want to grab some more while on sale or save the $ for 123gr Amax's. Already have 300pcs of AA from last sale.

    Ive heard of getting up to 8-10 uses from.lapua, depending on how hot you are running your loads and quality of feed ramps. anytime they go on sale i buy some. You never know when there could be a price spike and then your thinking S!#@ wish i wouldve bought more....

      I have 20 plus reloads on some of my Lapua/AA. I start to lose several pieces per 100 each time I reload after about 12-15 reloads, but a lot of it soldiers on!

        I am currently at 9 on AA brass and 6 on Hornady. No signs of issues. I also don't run hot loads, either.

          Hey, do you guys keep track of the number of loads on the brass by filing grooves in the rim or some such, or do you just inspect carefully and toss when necks split, primer pockets become loose, or case heads come close to separating?
