Thread: 4-5 firing 300 wsm brass

I’ve got quite a few Norma 300wsm brass that I’m getting rid of. It’s 4-5 firings, I’ve lost track of which is which so have gone to fresh 100 pieces.
Is this something that people would be comfortable using after that many firings? There is some stamping on some of it but I think that’s a Norma thing, it’s alway been run 2 gr under max.
I’ve only ever bumped the shoulder a couple thou and always ultrasoniced and tumbled after each firing. Flash holes have all been done.
Advice appreciated. I’d be giving them away

Id honestly run it until you see true case failure signs, id not give up on them yet. If your worried, split one in half and be shocked as to how good they probably look. Ive had 12 firings on 7mm mag norma brass befoer it had signs of failure

I have 14 firings on my current 6.5SAUM Norma brass so I would say keep using it.

Ah ok, jumped the gun there then by the sounds. Someone won’t be getting a good deal then.

Unless you're over full length sizing and causing head seperation primer pocket expansion will tell you the life of the brass.
