[QUOTE="Trinitronman, post: 1108343, member: 90702"] Until I fire more of my Remington 180gr Corelokts, I am out of Remington brass. Cabelas was having a 25% off sale on Nosler products, so I picked up 100 .300 win mag cases..... I thought my heart was going to seize up when I saw the register hit $118.00. Got the brass home and weighed every single piece and they only vary by roughly .3gn. I also picked up 2 more boxes of 208 Amax bullets. I grabbed 40 of them and 40 bullets (I individually weighed each one and these 40 came in at 208.3). Ran each case through a FL resizing die and measured each case. They fluctuated between 2.6035 and 2.6045, so I trimmed them all to 2.603 and then chambered / deburred the necks. I was ready to reload starting at 71.6 and working my way up in .5gn increments, or so I thought. I got to thinking about all of the stuff I've read on the net, and wanted to ask if there will be any noticeable difference in accuracy on the first firing than in subsequent firings? Did I just waste a bunch of time sorting bullets? Should i just load these cases up with another powder(4350 IMR I've got tons of that I need to get rid of) for the sole purpose of fire-forming the brass and letting it get its stretch on? I've got 20 on my desk ready to go but I feel the night will be spent reading more post on the internet!! [/QUOTE]
