[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2281308, member: 65338"] I don’t know how much I believe that anymore. I have had many rifles now, from Varmint rounds to large magnums, that shoot just as good from the first firing with virgin brass to shooting with brass fired 3 times. Some even improved rounds. While fireforming is the wisest choice to ensure the best accuracy when load testing, it cannot be made gospel for ALL rifles. To name a few I’ve had shoot virgin brass extremely well: 20 TAC from 223 cases, 20 VarTarg, 6mm LBC Turbo 40 from Grendel and PPC cases, 338-375R from 300 PRC brass, 358 Norma Mag formed from 300 Win Mag cases, 7mm Rem Mag, 6XC formed from 308 Win, and probably a couple others I’m forgetting over the years. All have shot just as well with virgin brass as they do/did with Fireformed brass. I first thought it was just luck, but I’ve seen it too many times now. Therefor I start my load testing right away on virgin brass to make sure I am traveling in the right direction when the barrel is broke in. [/QUOTE]
