This ^^^^

for my 6.5TCU realistically I get 2-3 reloads out of a case before the primer falls out. My brass is all formed from once fired .223 pickups.
Some brass lasts longer but I also don't bother trying to eeeek the last reload out of it. Its real cheap to replace.
My Saum much the same, my WSM just idle's along cause it not much fun to shoot for fun if you wind it up too much

Never had a total case failure yet, I guess there will be one some day.
I never shoot without my eye protection though
