[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1451706, member: 96274"] As has been stated you should be close but most likely would need to back off a couple tenths or so on powder. This is where a chrono can be handy. If you where in a good node with the virgin brass you should be able to just change powder charge a few tenths or so to match the velocity you had in the virgin brass. Typically virgin brass acts as a buffer or absorbs more pressure while forming to your chamber to give you a little less velocity per charge weight. For example a load i have is 40.4 gr of powder giving me 2950 fps in fired brass. In the virgin brass I have (all the same lot) my load is 40.8 gr to match that velocity. [/QUOTE]
