[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 2664233, member: 109070"] My experience is you will find a more than accurate load for hunting on new brass. Depending on what you’re after but I consider it to be 3/4 minus for hunting. Now it also depends on the rifle I.e factory, custom, rebarreled, new ext. if your hand loads are new brass, or if your shooting factory 1 inch minus is a perfectly acceptable place to be. To be honest you can have a rifle that shoots 2 inch groups and be just fine to 300. Handloads should be much better than 3/4 sometimes single hole groups will happen depending on rifle shooter. Typically you will start to see your best ES, SD numbers and accuracy out of twice fired brass. But do not think you can’t get great accuracy out of once fired. Attached is once fired ADG brass 196 gr copper out of a 300 RUM. SD of 9. These groups were shot in load development on a brand new barrel, shots 6-9 left target 10-12 right target. [/QUOTE]
