That is correct I will shoot 1 piece of .308 Lapua brass until it fails.
I have taken measurements and after 20x fired and neck sized the case has grown .0075" in length
The first 10 shots from it had it grown .005" so 1/2 of a thousandths per firing .
The OD of the case has remained the same ,, bullet seating and primer seating has not changed from the 1x fired .
Primer pocket still great in other words.
So far I only have shot and neck sized this piece 20x.
Bolt got a little stiff to lock down on the 5th resize.
But on the 20th it feels the same .. so I feel it has reached a point and has stayed there.
I changed the title ..instead of how many licks will it take.
