Thread: How do you know when your brass is kaput?

Some of my 7mm08 brass is coming up on 7 reloads (and unfortunately got mixed in with some newer stuff a little while ago) and I was wondering when do you guys call it quits on brass?

Do you ditch it after a certain number? Or do you look for certain signs?

One of the dodgey guys at the range waits until there's a big bulge/ring about a cm from the back of the round

I do always check the necks and cases for cracks, I check for bulges. So far nothing, and I reckon (from what I've heard) I'll get ten reloads out of the 08 brass, but curious to see what you guys do.
