[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1448085, member: 100535"] The once fired brass will match your chamber dimensions. The process is called fire forming. Some chamberings (wildcats) require the fire forming in order to change the shoulder angle, body taper etc. you always want to stay shy of max loads when fire forming. It’s more accurate because it’s going to be much more consistent shot to shot compared to new brass. If you have a lot of once fired brass and replace your barrel... assuming it’s the same chambering, just fire it again, then you have fire formed brass to THAT exact chamber. But then it’s technically twice fired brass. Watch the OAL and make sure your bumping the shoulder correctly and your good to go! I’m sure others will chime in here with more info. [/QUOTE]
