I only use Fiocchi brass from factory ammo..
.45 is low pressure, relatively..
And i'm loading em even lower because i don't need full power on thin cardboard at 25 meter anyway.
So case stretch should be ok, and the brass will take a bit longer till it goes brittle.
Each time i finish a batch of reloads, i mark em at the headstamp with a Sharpie.
It's also part of my check after loading, i mark em when i check the primers..
When i'm done shooting, i just grab the brass, chuck em in the bag, and home i can sort em again according to times loaded..
