[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2857015, member: 3230"] Here is what I do: once I have a load that shoots well and I need to load new brass, I find out how much more powder I need to add to match the velocity in fired cases - normally not a lot, and normally the POI doesn't change. Then I shoot. I can't see shooting new brass just to fire-form. I would add my .338 Edge shows absolutely no difference in velocity or POI in new vs fired brass. I would also add that the chamber seems to be a bit sloppy (I get case head separations even well before primer pockets enlarge - even though the shoulder is pushed back .001), so maybe a fired case expands just as much as a virgin.
