357 Maximum relaoding

Question how many times can you reload the new brass and still be safe. Thanks Lynn

well, I do not have any Remington brass, But I am still using the same federal Brass I bought 20 years ago! and it has been reloaded at least 20 times.

brass life on the 357 Max is very good. you will probably lose more from crushing the case then from fatigue.

BTW: I used to own a ruger 7 1/2 inch gun. It actually did not recoil badly. My Freedom arms 44Mag kicks more than it did

357 max

I didn't think the brass would last because of the high pressure. I thought the 7 and a half would really kick. Thanks for the Imfo.

until it splits on either firing or resizing. At that point, looking at the case with a split in it, probably not safe to reload anymore.




I've loaded from 90 grain bullets to 250 in 357 max, and I'd have gone to 300 grains if I could have gotten my hands on some. You wouldnt BELIEVE the muzzle flash on the 90 . I liked heavier.
