Hehehe, article from GUNS & AMMO, Feb 1980. Loved that article. Federal case, 5.0gr of Unique, federal primer, 750 fps, reloaded 146 times. And the federal case was nickel-plated on top of that.

I loaded 5 - 7mm Mauser rounds and began testing them, trimming and reloading them exactly the same way. It took several months, but one of the cases finally developed a seperation after 66 loadings. I sectioned the other 4, they were all close to the same condition. Most pistol brass I keep reloading indefinitely, paying attention to condition after every firing.
Long enough not to be an issue
Purchased my 29-2 new back in 1975. Still using the brass I bought shortly thereafter. No telling how many loadings, but they're still going strong with no failures.
