What's everyone getting for a averahe # of reloads for their .204 brass? Just curious on what to expect just starting to reload for the .204 using Nosler brass

I'd opine that the 204R treats brass the same as any other high intensity cartridge. If you shoot a 223 you already know the answer to your question. If you don't hotrod the thing and shoot midrange or factory loads, brass will last at least five firings until it needs annealing.

Re: Average Fireings
I'm at 15 reloads on my Nosler brass, and 4 more on my Hornady with no special care given.
That said, I don't pretend that I have a swift. My most accurate load is middle of the road, pressure wise.

I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
