[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2416221, member: 116181"] You just shooting the brass the first time then sounds like, not fireforming to a new cartridge? Some people will go so far as to pull the ejector and seat the bullet long to get a good jam on the headspace. I've never gone that far, but I will say it's not a one-and-done to get to fully formed brass either. I try to find a load that works good in the virgin brass because I don't want to waste trigger time or components just shooting the cases. The last time I started with a new lot of Lapua brass the virgin load held together for the second firing and came apart on the third, which is also when the bolt started closing hard on the empties and I set the sizing die up to start bumping shoulders back. The rifle shot it's first one-hole group with the 3x fired brass, during a pressure ladder no less. [/QUOTE]
