[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1991507, member: 10755"] For hunting I use a load developed on twice fired brass, but actually use new brass to hunt with. For my comp guns and varmint/LR rifles, I use thrice fired brass for load development and use whatever round count brass for hunting cuz it all gets annealed after every firing, so it’s fire formed and stable throughout usage. I once used to load and travel to a range to test loads, then I had the fortune of shooting on my own private range, however I soon discovered that the travel had somehow ‘settled’ my rounds and I had pressure excursions during a match. I discovered that the packing scheme of the rounds made a HUGE difference if not all the same. So, I discovered the ‘swirl charge technique’, which is pouring the powder in using a funnel so that the powder swirls like a tornado into the case. The difference in powder height is significant and it flattens out pressure/start pressure/velocity improving both ES & SD. Give it a try, it works very well. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
