Newbie needs info...how many times can a brass shotshell be reloaded using black powder?

I beleive it may be reloaded untill someone steps on it putting it out of round

If you get the RCBS sizing dies for it, and have a press that they will fit in, you can even fix them sometimes after someone steps on it. Both RCBS and LEE make a press that will take the big die set.

The same sizing die setup makes decapping and priming easy.

All of my brass shotshells were obtained used (Rem-UMC, Winchester, Alcan, and Rocky Mtn Cartridge) so some of them are quite old and I have no idea what sort of use they received before me, but I have reloaded some of them over 50 times.  I have never lost one to splits (I don't crimp the mouth which probably helps with this) nor to being stepped on.
