Is once fired brass giving anything up to new brass?

[QUOTE="Idaho Hunter1, post: 1843148, member: 110057"] Hello all and thanks for the thoughts on this question. So I am looking at trying to raise my reloading game from what I presently do, which is reload factory ammo that I have shot from my specific rifle to once again be used for that same rifle (basically fire form). If I was to buy some once fired brass from a reputable source and brand (example: Once fired Lapua brass from a reputable gun builder that really is only firing it once before selling), am I giving anything up other than the first firing? Could I anneal the brass when I get it, resize it and start from there? It’s a significant savings for the calibers I’m looking at, 338 LM, 300WM, 7mm RM. And some of the NEW brass I’m looking for is out of stock and has been for a while which is another reason I’m looking at this. All the rifles I shoot are custom and produce sub .5MOA with factory ammo that I shoot but I want to change to load something other than ELD-M/X. All chambers are simply cut to accommodate standard dimensions IAW SAAMI. Nothing special on my end. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
