    Not sure how many times, but yes, that little brass cup gets worked a lot. Firing pin hit has to be flattened out. My practice is to anneal the cups after I flatten them out. Just pass a propane torch over it until it just starts to turn red. That keeps the brass soft.

    some guys are reporting up to 10 times but most do the one and done routine.
