I use 45 brass from starline, american eagle, and one other company that escapes me right now, and I have yet to throw any of them away. No telling how many rounds I've shot out of them, but they are still going. My 460's are a different story. I get about 10 rounds out of them, then they start coming apart.
I'd like to see that article if you can find it Sixshot. That sounds interesting.
