    I modified my dies so I only neck size and bump my shoulder 2 thou after annealing every firing.
    I need to use a body die around 5 firings. I mark my brass to tell me how many goes I am on.

    I prep 3 random cases out of every new batch of sorted brass and fire and reload them until the primer pocket is a bit loose or a run with my body die which is at a fixed setting will not size the case properly. (Mainly during load testing anyway)

    You would get a few more goes out of the brass in a turn bolt I imagine, but the R93 has no ability to cam during locking and tired brass needs to be culled earlier to prevent miss fires due to the built in mechanical safety of the system.

    I am a tad anal when it comes to reloading rifle ammo and sometimes I forget not everyone else is, but yet I assume some things are a given like annealing to ensure consistent neck tension.
    Should have mentioned that in my first reply.
