How many time you can reload the same brass cases for 308?

Salt bath.
You can buy a nice action and barrel for the price of an AMP
But the real answer is that I am not doing enough annealing to justify the cost of the amp.
You can buy also a lot of brass for 2 K also..
Price never bothered me with the Amp.
My method is fire, neck size 4 times, anneal and full length size, repeat. I go with that 100 brass till I have an issue. I have tossed a few due to weird stuff but none for split necks or primer pocket issues. 11th or 12th reloading. I'd have to look at the box. The weird stuff is crushed necks or big dents from too much lube. I have a box of 1000 factory Winchester brass still. I have 500 once fired 308 Winchester from a friend. Different brands require different approaches.
Her 308 has put 9 of 15 in a 2.5 inch circle at 800 yards. I did the load development and reloading using the friends brass.

And the remaining question is whether to buy bare brass or to shoot factory ammunition and recover its brass for reloading. Depending on the calibre and state of the market and how particular your shooting opportunities are about having your own formula loaded it can go either way.
Then too, with a new gun I don't want to have to use the word "reload" during any warranty claims, so by the end of break-in period that's my initial stash of about-to-be-reloaded-factory-brass for that gun.
