How many firings should one expect to get out of Lapua 6.5 PRC. In case the details matter, these have all shot 156 Berger EOL, 58.5gr N565, annealing after each firing with AMP, and FL sizing bumping shoulders 2 thou. I've got a bath with 10-11 firings, no signs of issues. Wondering if I'm pushing it.
 
How your sizing die works with your chamber dimensions has a bigger influence on longevity than the load you are using. You won’t lose primer pockets in a PRC case unless you’re doing something stupid.

Don’t feel that you have to measure stuff and set the shoulder back a certain measurement.

Strip your bolt and adjust the sizing die by feel if you are after maximum case life
