[QUOTE="CB11WYO, post: 835860, member: 57339"] I've recently found a good load for my new 7mm Rem. Mag (using once-or-more-fired brass) and have now begun breaking in some new Winchester brass. My pet load with the once-or-more-fired brass which I used during development was giving me under 1 MOA accuracy, usually about .75 . Using the same load with my brand new brass I'm really drilling 'em... usually .5 MOA and sometimes better... Now this seems to be exactly opposite of what my prior experience/thinking has been. Seems that the broke-in brass usually perform better than brand-new out-of-the-bag brass. Any of you experience this or have possible explanations?? Or is this just another thing to add to my gun's "personality" profile and another testament that nothing is a given in precision shooting?? :rolleyes: lightbulb [/QUOTE]
