I have brass I've reloaded 20+ times. After 10-15 times I start losing 2-3 cases/100 to neck cracks. That may very well be due to the fact that I used Lee dies for the first 3-4000 loads I reloaded before switching to better dies.
I've lost none the last 1000 cases I've reloaded, though. I used to be anal about keeping track of how many reloads each piece had, grouping them all together by number of reloads. Not anymore except for brass I intend to use in long range competition. I just didn't see any significant difference while keeping it separated.
