[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2090627, member: 32525"] I have some powder I do not use for actual loads but do use for fire forming with a mild charge. I also have bullets for the same purpose, which saves my "good" powder and bullets for my actual loads- or you could do the COW method and not use any bullets. You will need to fire form though- some say as many as 2 times to get new brass to a place where it won't keep growing on you and be consistent from load to load. You could skip and just load it new to save on your components, but you'll notice (more than likely) a change in velocities from firing 1 to firing 3 and may have to tweak your load with each firing anyway.
