[QUOTE="Wheatgerm, post: 681346, member: 52003"] Looks like I have missed alot in the last 24 hours.. im not exactly mixing brass as much as I am breaking in my brass. I started with 20 factory rounds to condition the barrel, then reloaded those rounds with different steps of powder and found the one that shot the best... also found the bullet seating that maybe not the BEST but is working very well. (My last load was 5 shots .75 inch group. Im happy with that for now) so I went out and got new brass so I could have more than 20 rounds to shoot at a time. It makes sense to me that the fire formed brass will shoot different than the virgin brass. I was just curious as to HOW MUCH different it would shoot. As someone stated before I don't want to just go out and blast 100 rounds into the dirt. I would like to do some testing with them or have a little fun playing with my scope and turrets or something along that line if it would mean any progress with perfecting my load. I just didn't know if I could work towards improving my load with virgin brass is was my very basic question was. Thanks for the input everyone [/QUOTE]
