How much case life can I expect to get out of a 7mmWSM?

[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 251744, member: 2261"] I'm running a long-throated 7WSM currently (180 Bergers loaded Base to Ogive 2.436"), with moderate to warm, but not hot loads, running roughly 2,940 fps from a 28" Kreiger. I use my cases in 200-300 case lots. I anneal every 3 firings, and toss them after about 9 firings, as they started to show (1 case in 10 or so from the lot) some ghosting on the outside of the case that looked like the early onset of casehead separation. The primer pockets were still tight when they were tossed into my brass bin for recycling. I didn't take the time to verify if it was impending case separation, as I purchased a huge amount of brass at the start of my project (1,500 cases) and have plenty to last me for at least 5 to 10 years of shooting my various 7WSMs (I have 2) in F-Class competition and shooting steel targets.
