[QUOTE="Capt Kurt, post: 727211, member: 20136"] If accuracy is your main goal then it is important to use your best brass. All casings in a given lot need to be the same head stamp. New brass is the best way to start out. This brass was all produced at the same time under the same conditions. A new bag of brass should always stay together as a lot and not mixed with other or or older brass. Understand this is the only component you reuse therefore it is very important the brass is properly prepared. On your data card write down the times reloaded. As you get more advanced in your reloading skills you will want to weight match your brass, turn your necks for matching neck tension and correct excessive neck run-out and much more. Realize discarding old brass that has seen its last days is part of the life cycle of brass. Depending on how much you shoot you should have plenty of new brass to cycle in so your always rotating your lots of brass. Don't forget, as a reloader your reloaded ammo needs to be 100% safe. If you pick up discarded brass know what and how to look for signs of failing brass before they fail. Last, take all your dicarded brass to a recycler. They will give you money. Take that money and buy new brass. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
